Grilled Shrimp and Broccoli Gyoza
I thought it would be a fun idea to try and grill some sort of stuffed pasta. I was debating doing ravioli but I ended up settling on a gyoza style dumpling because they are often pan fried anyways so I thought the dough would hold up well on the grill. We are moving in about a month so I am in clean out the fridge/freezer mode, so I grabbed a half-bag of frozen shrimp and a few florets of some broccoli hidden in the back of the veggie drawer as the filling. I used this recipe for the dough and made the gyoza double the side they normally would be so they were easier to handle on the grill.
The filling was the shrimp, broccoli, ginger, scallion, soy sauce, and cornstarch. Just pulse it a few times in the food processor until its chopped finely.
A nice scoop of filling in each wrapper. Fold it over, then make as many small folds as you can to pinch and seal.
I boiled them for about 2 minutes, then tossed them in olive oil before putting them on the grill.
The dipping sauce was peanut butter, soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, and sriracha.
I loved these! The shrimp was super tender and the broccoli added a great freshness. I liked the kick of ginger as well.
The crispy dough was great on the grill and the burnt edges gave these a different taste and texture than if you did them in the pan. Head here for the dough recipe.
