A Sweet Way to Make Shrimp Dumplings

I'm starting the “5-Small-Meals-Per-Day” diet!

I had five of the below dumplings by themselves as one meal, but you may also have them with a small salad or Udon noodles. This meal did not upset my stomach, but I've been told finding a diet that does not result in a “flare-up” is different for everyone. I hope you enjoy this!

Nutritional advice: rice paper — rice helps as binder in your system without being too heavy to digest.
