A delicious and guilt-free alternative to traditional shrimp, made from jackfruit and spices.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup of jackfruit, shredded
  • 1 cup of vital wheat gluten
  • 1/4 cup of cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup of nutritional yeast
  • 2 tablespoons of seaweed flakes (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt to taste
  • 1/2 cup water or vegetable broth

Instructions

  1. Combine the shredded jackfruit, vital wheat gluten, cornstarch, nutritional yeast, seaweed flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and salt in a mixing bowl. Mix until well combined.
  2. Gradually add water or vegetable broth until the mixture forms a dough. Adjust the moisture as needed; it should be pliable but not too sticky.
  3. Knead the dough for a few minutes until it becomes elastic.
  4. Shape the dough into small shrimp-sized pieces.
  5. Steam or boil the pieces for 20 minutes until firm. Use a well-oiled steamer to prevent sticking.
  6. Cool the cooked pieces before using them in your favorite recipes.

Notes

Pro tip: Fully shred the jackfruit for the best texture. Seaweed flakes add a nice hint of the ocean but are optional.
