Seafood Dumplings

These delicious seafood dumplings are filled with a vibrant mix of shrimp and scallops, offering a delightful burst of flavor in every bite. Steamed to perfection, they are a healthy and satisfying dish that pairs beautifully with a light soy dipping sauce.

Ingredients

• Shrimp (peeled and deveined) - 100 grams
• Scallops - 100 grams
• Garlic (minced) - 1 clove
• Ginger (grated) - 1 teaspoon
• Green onions (chopped) - 2 tablespoons
• Cilantro (chopped) - 2 tablespoons
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Sesame oil - 1 teaspoon
• Wonton wrappers - 16 pieces
• Salt - to taste
• Pepper - to taste
• Water - for steaming

Steps

1. In a food processor, combine the shrimp, scallops, garlic, ginger, green onions, cilantro, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped but not pureed.
2. Take a wonton wrapper and place a teaspoon of the seafood filling in the center. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water, fold it over to form a triangle, and pinch to seal. Repeat for all wrappers.
3. Prepare a steamer by bringing water to a boil. Line the steamer basket with parchment paper or cabbage leaves to prevent sticking.
4. Place the dumplings in the steamer basket without overcrowding. Steam for about 8-10 minutes, or until the filling is cooked through.
5. Serve the dumplings hot with a side of soy sauce for dipping.
