Ingredients

• 250 grams Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon Low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 stalks Scallions, finely chopped
• 1 medium Carrots, finely grated
• 20 pieces Whole-wheat dumpling wrappers
• 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water

Directions

Step 1

In a food processor, combine the shrimp, garlic, ginger, low-sodium soy sauce, sesame oil, scallions, and grated carrots. Pulse until the mixture is well-combined but still slightly chunky.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of water to form a slurry.

Step 3

Lay out a dumpling wrapper on a clean surface. Place about a teaspoon of the shrimp filling in the center of the wrapper.

Step 4

Brush the edges of the wrapper with the cornstarch slurry to help seal the dumpling.

Step 5

Fold the dumpling in half into a semi-circle or your desired shape, pressing the edges tightly to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 6

Prepare a steamer by lining the base with parchment paper or cabbage leaves to prevent sticking. Arrange the dumplings in the steamer basket, ensuring they do not touch each other.

Step 7

Bring a pot of water to a boil. Set the steamer basket over the boiling water, cover, and steam the dumplings for 8-10 minutes, or until the wrappers are translucent, and the shrimp filling is cooked through.

Step 8

Serve warm with a side of low-sodium soy sauce or a heart-healthy dipping sauce of your choice.
