• Raw shrimp - 200 grams, peeled and deveined

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine the raw shrimp, ground chicken, shallots, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, salt, and white pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
2. Take a wonton wrapper and place about 1 tablespoon of the shrimp mixture in the center. Gather the edges of the wrapper and pleat them around the filling, leaving the top exposed. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
3. Prepare a steamer by bringing water to a boil. Line the steamer basket with parchment paper or cabbage leaves to prevent sticking.
