Category Finalist, Starters and Drinks. The combination of the shrimp puffs served with two sauces makes this a perfect party appetizer. Beat the egg and egg whites well so the puffs will rise when baked. —Julie DeMatteo, Clementon, New Jersey Ingredients:
1 pound peeled and deveined medium shrimp |
2 bacon slices, diced |
1/3 cup finely chopped green onions |
1 1/2 teaspoons bottled ground fresh ginger (such as spice world) |
1 cup all-purpose flour (about 4 1/2 ounces) |
1 cup water |
3 tablespoons butter |
1/2 teaspoon sugar |
2 large egg whites |
1 large egg |
cooking spray |
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce |
2 tablespoons finely chopped green onion tops |
2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar |
1 teaspoon hot chili sauce with garlic (such as ka-me) |
1/2 teaspoon dark sesame oil |
6 tablespoons sweet chili garlic sauce (such as taste of asia) |
4 teaspoons seasoned rice vinegar |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 425°.
2. To prepare puffs, place shrimp in a food processor; pulse until finely chopped.
3. Cook bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until crisp. Remove bacon from pan, reserving 2 teaspoons drippings in pan (reserve bacon for another use). Add shrimp to reserved drippings in pan, and saute 3 minutes. Add 1/3 cup green onions to pan; saute 1 minute. Stir in ginger.
4. Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Combine 1 cup water, butter, and sugar in a large heavy saucepan; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon. Reduce heat to low; add flour, stirring well until mixture is smooth and pulls away from sides of pan. Remove from heat. Add egg whites and egg, 1 at a time; beat with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Gently stir in shrimp mixture.
5. Drop dough by level tablespoons, 2 inches apart, onto baking sheets coated with cooking spray. Bake at 425° for 10 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 350° (do not remove puffs from oven); bake an additional 10 minutes or until browned and crisp.
6. To prepare the soy-garlic sauce, combine soy sauce and next 4 ingredients (through oil) in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk.
7. To prepare sweet chili sauce, combine chili garlic sauce and 4 teaspoons vinegar in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Serve sauces with shrimp puffs.
