This is a variation on the "roll" idea: instead of meat, a shrimp filling is wrapped in spring roll pastry and fried, and voila! an elegant and crispy Dim Sum. Even though the shrimp roll is a newcomer to the Dim Sum menu, it will no doubt become a star on home-entertaining menus.

makes 18-20 rolls

• 1 lb shrimp, shelled, cleaned and diced

• 1 pkg. spring roll wrap

• 1/2 ounce cornstarch

• 1/3 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder

• 1/3 teaspoon salt

• 2/3 teaspoon sugar

• 1/3 teaspoon sesame oil

• dash white pepper

• 6-8 water chestnuts

• 1/2 cup carrot slivers

• 1 tablespoon flour

1. Defrost spring roll pastry in fridge overnight.

2. Make fine carrot slivers with a small carrot, using a vegetable peeler. Set aside.

3. Make a small amount of paste, with a tablespoon of flour and a bit of water. Set aside.

4. Peel water chestnuts as you would a potato. Rinse and chop coarsely. (Use canned ones if you must)

5. Mix shrimp, water chestnuts, carrot slivers and seasoning together in a bowl.

6. Cut pastry squares into rectangular halves.

7. Use one teaspoon of filling for each shrimp roll. Be careful not to overfill.
