Ingredients
Scale:
1 pound Fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 cup Cabbage, finely chopped
1 medium Carrot, grated
3 Scallions, chopped
2 cloves Garlic, minced
1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
2 tablespoons Soy sauce
1 teaspoon Sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
Green lettuce leaves, For steaming
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh shrimp, chopped cabbage, grated carrot, chopped scallions, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Using a food processor, pulse the shrimp mixture until coarsely chopped. Be careful not to over-process; you want some texture in the filling.
Prepare your steamer. Line the steamer basket with green lettuce leaves to prevent the dumplings from sticking.
Form the shrimp mixture into small balls, about one tablespoon each. Arrange them in the steamer basket, leaving space between each dumpling.
Bring water to a gentle boil in your steamer pot. Once boiling, cover and steam the dumplings for 8-10 minutes or until the shrimp is cooked through and the dumplings are firm to the touch.
Carefully remove the dumplings from the steamer, serving them warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
