Holiday Tasting Party Recipes

RECIPE NAME:  SHRIMP DUMPLINGS

INGREDIENTS:
1 lb. Shrimp
1 lb. Ground Pork
1 green onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 eggs
2 tsp. cornstarch
1 Tbs. low-sodium soy sauce, plus some for dipping
1 Tbs. sesame oil
1/4 tsp. salt
1 Tbs. sugar
1/4 tsp. black pepper
1 (10 oz) pkg. round wonton wrappers

HOW TO MAKE THIS:
To make the filling, put all the ingredients into a food processor until smooth, but not completely pureed.  Season with salt and pepper.

To assemble the dumplings, hold a wonton wrapper in your hand.  Dip a spoon in cold water and then drop 1 Tbs. of the filling onto the center of the wrapper.  Gather the edges of the wrapper up and around the filling and then squeeze the sides slightly with your finger.  Tap the dumpling onto the table so the bottom is flat.

Stand the dumplings in the steamer in a single layer and don't let them touch.  Steam for 10 to 15 minutes or until the filling feels firm and it is cooked through.  Serve with soy sauce.
