Cajun Shrimp and Turkey Sausage Rice Meal Prep
One pan, two proteins, four boxes: turkey sausage browned hard, shrimp cooked in the last three minutes so they never turn rubbery, and rice steamed in the same pan with peppers, celery and cajun spice. 43 grams of protein a serving and it reheats without the shrimp going tough.

Shrimp and Egg Fried Rice
Fried rice with shrimp and egg for protein instead of just soy sauce and rice. Works best with rice that's a day old and slightly dried out, straight from the fridge.

Five-Spice Shrimp Rice Paper Pancakes
A crispy, savory shrimp filling pressed straight onto rice paper and pan-fried until golden, more flatbread than spring roll. Five-spice and a little bouillon powder do the seasoning work, no wrapping technique required.

Shrimp and Egg Rice Paper Dumplings
The rice paper dumpling everyone's making right now: wrappers dipped in water, filled, folded flat, then brushed with egg wash so they crisp up gold in the air fryer instead of soaking up oil in a deep fryer.

Thai-Style Shrimp and Herb Rice Paper Dumplings with Peanut Sauce
Fresh herbs and lime give these the flavor of a classic Vietnamese spring roll, but they're folded flat and crisped in the air fryer instead of served cold. The peanut sauce is non-negotiable here.

Waffle Iron Shrimp and Cabbage Rice Paper Pockets
The rice paper dumpling trend pressed in a waffle iron instead of an air fryer. One sheet folded into a triangle works better than doubling up, since two layers steam instead of crisping. The waffle grid leaves little divots that are perfect for catching dipping sauce.

Shrimp and Cream Cheese Rice Paper Purses
Shrimp and cream cheese pulled together into little rice paper purses, closer to a crab rangoon than a spring roll. Gather the wrapper up at the top instead of rolling it flat and it holds its shape well enough in the air fryer.
