Time 30m

Yield 10 to 12 dumplings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice wine
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1/2 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 to 3/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
1/4 cup roughly chopped scallions, white parts only
10 to 12 round dumpling skins
Juice of 1 lime

Steps:

  • Combine the soy sauce, rice wine, sesame oil and ginger in a bowl. Put half the shrimp, half the cilantro and all the scallions in a food processor and pulse; add just enough of the soy mixture to create a smooth paste, about 1 to 2 tablespoons. Transfer to a bowl. Roughly chop the remaining shrimp and cilantro, add them to the bowl and stir to combine.
  • Place a dumpling skin on a work surface, moisten the edges with water, and put 1 teaspoon of the filling in the center. Gather the edges of the wrapper up around the filling, squeezing gently, to pleat the sides; some of the filling should remain exposed. Repeat with the remaining dumpling skins and filling, keeping the dumpling wrappers and dumplings covered with damp towels while you work.
  • Rig a steamer in a large pot over an inch of water; bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Meanwhile, add the lime juice to the remaining soy mixture to make a dipping sauce.
  • Put as many dumplings in the steamer as you can fit in a single layer and cover the pot. Cook until the exposed filling turns pink and the wrappers are tender, 4 to 6 minutes, then transfer the dumplings to a serving platter. Repeat with the remaining dumplings. Serve with the dipping sauce.

These are the best Shu Mai I've ever had! I can't wait to make them again.

These were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I'll definitely make them again, but I'll use less chili sauce next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the Shu Mai came out dry and bland. I think I'll try adding more shrimp and cilantro next time.

I've made these Shu Mai several times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. They're perfect for parties or potlucks.

These were so easy to make and they turned out great! I used a store-bought dumpling wrapper and they still came out perfect.

I'm not a big fan of shrimp, but these Shu Mai were surprisingly delicious! The cilantro really brightens up the flavor and the dipping sauce is the perfect complement.

These Shrimp and Cilantro Shu Mai are a hit with my family! The flavors are well-balanced and the texture is perfect. I love that they're steamed instead of fried, so they're a healthier option.
