Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 2 pieces Scallions, finely chopped
- 50 grams Feta cheese, crumbled
- 30 grams Sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 20 pieces Whole wheat dumpling wrappers
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 100 milliliters Water
Instructions
Start by finely chopping the shrimp into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
Add minced garlic, chopped scallions, crumbled feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh parsley, and lemon zest to the shrimp.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, and mix thoroughly to combine all the ingredients.
Take a dumpling wrapper and place a heaping teaspoon of the shrimp mixture in the center.
Moisten the edge of the wrapper with a little water, then fold it over the filling to form a half-moon shape.
Press the edges together to seal, ensuring there are no air bubbles, and crimp the edges for a decorative finish.
Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Arrange the dumplings in a single layer in the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.
Carefully pour in 100 milliliters of water into the skillet and immediately cover with a lid to steam the dumplings.
Allow the dim sum to steam for about 8-10 minutes, or until the wrappers are tender and the filling is cooked through.
Remove the lid and let the remaining water evaporate.
Transfer the shrimp dim sum to a serving platter and serve them warm, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
