Shrimp dim sum is a traditional dish originating from Chinese cuisine, particularly associated with Cantonese culinary practices and often enjoyed during yum cha, or tea gatherings. These delicate bite-sized dumplings feature a thin, translucent wrapper made from rice or wheat flour, encasing a flavorful filling of minced shrimp, sometimes mixed with ginger, garlic, scallions, and light seasonings like soy sauce or sesame oil. Shrimp is a lean source of protein, offering essential nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids and selenium. Steaming, the typical cooking method, preserves nutrients and minimizes added fats, making shrimp dim sum a lighter choice compared to fried variations. However, the sodium content can be high depending on the seasoning and dipping sauces. Ideal for a balanced diet when enjoyed in moderation, shrimp dim sum showcases a harmonious blend of textures and flavors steeped in cultural tradition.
