Finely chop the raw shrimp into a paste-like consistency or pulse it in a food processor until smooth but not liquid.
In a mixing bowl, combine the shrimp paste, green onions, water chestnuts, soy sauce, sesame oil, and grated ginger. Mix thoroughly until the filling is well combined.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to create a slurry for sealing the wonton wrappers.
Lay out a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Place about 1 teaspoon of the shrimp filling in the center of the wrapper.
Brush the edges of the wrapper with the cornstarch slurry. Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle, pressing the edges tightly to seal. Optionally, fold and pleat the edges for a traditional look.
Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.
Heat a large steamer pot or a bamboo steamer lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Place the dumplings in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch, and steam for 7-10 minutes or until the shrimp is fully cooked and the wrappers are translucent.
While the dumplings steam, prepare the dipping sauce by mixing the soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and sesame oil in a small bowl.
Serve the dumplings hot with the dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy!
