Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

20 jarred grape leaves
2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
6 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped
1 1/2 teaspoons sambal ulek
1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined, tail removed
2 Tablespoons fish sauce
1 cup sweetened, flaked coconut
6 radishes, minced
8 scallions, chopped
1/4 cup frech basil, chopped
1 Tablespoon fresh lime juice
Sauce
1 ripe mango
3/4 cup fat-free mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Remove the grape leaves from the jar, unroll and separate them, and rinse them well under cold water. Leave them to soak while doing the rest of the preparation. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet and saute the garlic for one minute. Add the sambal ulek and saute quickly until it bubbles, about 30 seconds. Add the shrimp and cook for three minutes, until they begin to turn pink. Stir in the fish sauce and coconut and continue cooking for 2 minutes longer, ntil the shrimp are tender. Remove from the heat. Puree half of the shrimp mixture in a food processor. Coarsely chop the other half of he mixture. Stir both mixtures together with the basil and the lime juice. Drain the grape leaves and pat dry. Place the first leaf on a flat surface. On the middle of the leaf place 1/2 teaspoon radish, 1 teaspoon green onion, and 1 rounded teaspoon shrimp mixture. Form this into a packet by folding each side of the leaf over the filling. Roll the blunt end of the leaf toward the pointed end until a packet is formed. Place this into a steamer basket. Repeat the process until all the leaves have been used. Put the basket on to steam over plain water for 10 minutes. While the packets are steaming, prepare the sauce. Peel the mango and cut away all the fleah. Puree the flesh in a food processor. Remove the puree to a bowl andstir in the mayonnaise until thoroughly blended. Serve warm, with sauce on the side.

These were a disaster! The grape leaves fell apart and the stuffing was all over the place.

These were a lot of work for not a lot of payoff. I don't think I'll be making them again.

I would have liked the shrimp stuffing to be a little more chunky. It was a bit too smooth for my taste.

These were okay, but I've had better. The grape leaves were a little too sour for my taste.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my grape leaves turned out tough. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked them better with a more flavorful stuffing.

I'm not a huge fan of seafood, but I really enjoyed these. The grape leaves and the stuffing were a great combination.

I love grape leaves, and these were no exception. The shrimp stuffing was a nice touch.

These were easy to make and turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt to the stuffing.

I've never had stuffed grape leaves before, but these were amazing! I'll definitely be making them again.

Absolutely delicious! The grape leaves were tender and flavorful, and the shrimp stuffing was perfectly seasoned. I will definitely be making this again.
