EASY SHRIMP POTSTICKERS

Steps:
- Potstickers: In a food processor, add the shrimp, garlic, scallions, soy sauce and egg. Pulse until combined but still chunky. Remove the mixture to a bowl. To assemble the potstickers, put about 1 teaspoon of filling into the center of a wonton wrapper. Moisten the rim of the wrapper with water. Fold the dough until the ends meet and press the air out of the center towards the edges. Seal by pressing firmly. This is the simplest way.
- To make the classic pleated look: using your thumb and index finger, pinch the corner of the unsealed wonton closed. Using your other hand pull a bit of the unsealed wonton edge toward the pinched corner and pinch to make a slight pleat in the wrapper, continue to pull the loose wrapper in and pleating until you run out of space, then push the air out through the final opening and pinch together. Repeat for the rest of the wontons. You can freeze them at this point on a baking sheet first, and then transfer to a freezer bag.
- Dipping sauce: Stir all the ingredients together in a small serving bowl.
- When ready to cook the potstickers, add oil to a large saute pan. When oil begins to swirl, add potstickers to the pan and cook until golden brown on 1 side. Flip and add 3 ice cubes. Immediately cover the pan to let the potstickers steam and cook through, about 3 minutes. Remove to a large platter and serve with dipping sauce.
AIR FRYER PEEL-AND-EAT SHRIMP FROM FROZEN
Need a last-minute appetizer? These quick and easy peel-and-eat shrimp will be on the table in no time. These "steam" in the shell, which helps keep the shrimp moist. I like to use "extra jumbo" size shrimp, which are 16 to 20 shrimps per pound. Will serve 4 as an appetizer, or 2 as a main entree.

Steps:
- Preheat an air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C).

- Air-fry shrimp for 5 minutes. Flip and continue cooking shrimp until shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 3 to 4 minutes longer.

- Place cooked shrimp into a large bowl. Drizzle with butter mixture and toss to coat. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, raw shrimp: Look for shrimp that is firm, translucent, and has a mild, briny smell. Avoid shrimp that is discolored, slimy, or has a strong odor.
- Make sure the shrimp is properly deveined: Deveining the shrimp removes the digestive tract, which can be gritty and unappetizing. To devein shrimp, use a small, sharp knife to make a shallow cut along the back of the shrimp, from the head to the tail. Then, use your fingers to pull out the vein.
- Rinse the shrimp thoroughly: Before cooking the shrimp, rinse it under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
- Cook the shrimp properly: Shrimp cooks quickly, so it is important not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp is tough and rubbery. The best way to cook shrimp is to cook it until it is opaque and pink, and the flesh is firm. This usually takes only a few minutes.
- Season the shrimp to taste: Shrimp can be seasoned with a variety of herbs, spices, and sauces. Some popular seasonings for shrimp include garlic, lemon, butter, parsley, and dill.
Conclusion:
No-fuss peel-and-eat shrimp is a quick and easy appetizer or main course that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to enjoy fresh shrimp without any hassle. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
