Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 stalks Scallions, finely chopped
- 1 medium Carrots, finely grated
- 20 pieces Whole-wheat dumpling wrappers
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
In a food processor, combine the shrimp, garlic, ginger, low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, scallions, and grated carrots. Pulse until the mixture is well-combined but still slightly chunky.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to form a slurry.
Lay out a dumpling wrapper on a clean surface. Place about a teaspoon of the shrimp filling in the center of the wrapper.
Brush the edges of the wrapper with the cornstarch slurry to help seal the dumpling.
Fold the dumpling in half into a semi-circle or your desired shape, pressing the edges tightly to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Prepare a steamer by lining the base with parchment paper or cabbage leaves to prevent sticking. Arrange the dumplings in the steamer basket, ensuring they do not touch each other.
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Set the steamer basket over the boiling water, cover, and steam the dumplings for 8-10 minutes, or until the wrappers are translucent, and the shrimp filling is cooked through.
Serve warm with a side of low-sodium soy sauce or a heart-healthy dipping sauce of your choice.
