Shrimp Shau Mai (Dim Sum Dumpling) image

This is yummy, and pretty easy to put together, the wrapping wll be a little wrinkly. It not only has a shrimp filling, but a whole shrimp in it as well. Came from a recipe book i have that is written in half chinese and half english. Updated as per chef flower's comments in directions.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dumplings didn't turn out as good as I hoped. I'll have to try again.

These dumplings were a little too oily for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time.

I love the combination of shrimp and pork in these dumplings. It's a classic flavor combination that never disappoints.
