Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon White pepper
- 20 pieces Dumpling wrappers
- 1 teaspoon Cooking oil
- 1 tablespoon Cilantro, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Scallions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Chili garlic sauce (optional, for serving)
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar (optional, for serving)
Instructions
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the shrimp, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, white pepper, cilantro, and scallions. Mix well and set aside to marinate for 15 minutes.
2. While the shrimp is marinating, prepare a clean surface or tray to assemble the dim sum. Dust the surface lightly with flour to prevent sticking.
3. Place a dumpling wrapper flat on your work surface. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the shrimp mixture into the center of the wrapper.
4. Wet the edges of the wrapper with a small amount of water using your fingertips. Carefully fold the wrapper in half to create a semi-circle, pressing the edges together firmly to seal. Optionally, pleat the edges for a decorative touch.
5. Repeat the wrapping process with the remaining shrimp mixture and dumpling wrappers until all are assembled.
6. Preheat a non-stick grill pan or skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with cooking oil.
7. Place the dumplings on the grill pan and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until the wrapper begins to crisp and develop grill marks.
8. Flip the dumplings over and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the shrimp filling is fully cooked and the wrappers are golden and slightly crispy.
9. Remove the grilled shrimp dim sum from the pan and let them cool slightly before serving.
10. Serve the dim sum warm with optional chili garlic sauce and rice vinegar as dipping sauces for added flavor.
