Place a portion of filling onto the white edge of a blanched Napa cabbage. Top with 4 tiny pieces of shrimps (equivalent to 1 shrimp).
Roll cabbage around the filling like a jelly roll. Tie with blanched green onion.
Place onto a shallow bowl or casserole dish. Repeat with the other 7 portions of filling.
