Oh Shrimp Dumplings, how I adore you!  The perfect medley of mouth watering shrimp, cabbage, green onion, ginger, sesame oil, and garlic all magically wrapped up in a delightful dough steamed to tender perfection with a crispy edge.  Dipped in a salty-sweet soy sauce, it’s a little bite of heaven.

Is it wrong to admit that sometimes the motivation behind making Shrimp Dumplings is simply that I love them so much that I want them for dinner?  Not as an appetizer, but sometimes that is ALL I wanted for dinner!

Whether you like them as a starter or a dinner plate filler, Shrimp Dumplings are easy and quick to prepare.  This recipe requires no fancy folding and may be prepared in advance and refrigerated until you are ready to cook and serve them.  Perfect for entertaining!

How to make Shrimp Dumplings

Finely chop the shrimp, cabbage, green onion, ginger, and garlic.  Add a dash of sesame oil and soy sauce.

Spoon a small amount of your mixture into a wonton or dumpling wrapper, wet the edges, press closed, and tuck the corners.  Wontons are a type of dumpling and the wrapper is readily available in the grocery store, usually in the produce section.  Variations on the folding technique are many and you may use what is comfortable.  The side with the most surface area is what will be your crispy edge.Shrimp Dumplings | Savorwithjennifer.com

Cook one side of the dumpling in a little hot oil.  Add broth or water and cover for a few minutes for the liquid to be absorbed.

Soy sauce is most acceptable for dipping your dumplings, but a soy sauce with a bit of brown sugar, rice vinegar, ginger, crushed red pepper, and green onion slices makes it exceptional.

  • Dip a fingertip in a small bowl of water and wet 2 sides of the wrapper.
  • Fold wrapper half and tuck edges with another dot of water to seal.
  • Preheat a non-stick or cast iron fry pan to a medium high heat and then add oil.

  • Add 1/2 cup broth or water to the bottom of the fry pan and cover.
  • Cook an additional 2-3 minutes until all the liquid has been absorbed.
  • Remove from pan and serve with Soy Dipping Sauce.
