Shrimp Dumplings

Mark Scarbrough

Serves: 6 (4 dumplings each)
 
Pre-peeled shrimp makes this appetizer or entrée quick and easy. We like to serve the dumplings in the same bamboo steamers we cook them in.

Ingredients:
Cornstarch for the baking sheet
Nonstick spray for the steamer basket
1/2 pound small shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 cup GNC Soy Protein, Unflavored
1/4 cup chopped canned water chestnuts
1 scallion, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons minced, fresh, peeled ginger
1 1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon chili paste
24 wonton or dumpling wrappers
Dipping sauce (recipe follows)
 
Instructions:

1. Lightly dust a baking sheet with cornstarch; set aside. Spray a bamboo steamer with nonstick spray; set aside.

2. Place the shrimp in a food processor fitted with a chopping blade. Pulse the machine on and off until the shrimp are chopped into a rough paste. Transfer them to a medium mixing bowl.

3. Using a rubber spatula, stir the soy protein powder, water chestnuts, scallions, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and chili paste into the shrimp until well blended.

4. Place one teaspoonful of the shrimp mixture into the center of one wonton wrapper. Moisten the top edges of the wrapper with water and fold the bottom edge up to cover the filling, sealing it against the moistened top edge of the wrapper. Press with your fingers to make sure the seam is sealed tightly.

5. Place the dumpling on the baking sheet and repeat with the remaining ingredients. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until needed. The dumplings may be prepared up to 6 hours ahead of time.

6 . Place the dumplings 1-inch apart in a vegetable steamer or bamboo steamer set over simmering water. Cover and steam for 10 minutes. Serve hot with the dipping sauce on the side.

Dipping Sauce

Makes about 1/3 cup

1/4 cup soy sauce
4 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil

Combine the ingredients in a small bowl and stir until the sugar dissolves.
