For the rice paper
6 sheets rice paper
1 cup water
1 tablespoon oil

For the dipping sauce:
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon Chinkiang vinegar
1 tablespoon chili oil

Instructions

To season the shrimp:

To steam the shrimp:
  • In a large steamer over high heat, bring water to a boil, and place the shrimp inside. Cover the steamer with a lid. Steam until the shrimp turns pink and is completely cooked through for about 2 minutes. Remove.

To assemble the shrimp dumplings:
  • Stack the rice paper together and cut it in half.
  • Dip a piece of rice paper in water for about 1 to 2 seconds. (It will continue to soften after removal.) Fold the two corners to the center so it looks like an open envelope.
  • Place about 1 tablespoon of the shrimp in the center, fold it in half, and pleat it. Trim off the excess rice paper.
  • Brush a dash of oil over each shrimp dumpling so they won’t stick, and place them on a bamboo steamer. Do the same with the rest.
To heat up the shrimp dumplings:
  • In the large steamer over high heat, bring water to a boil, and transfer the shrimp dumplings to it. Steam for about 1 minute. Remove them and serve with the dipping sauce!
