shrimp dumplings!

so, although i could've just posted this as a photo set on the Google+, for the sake of keeping this blog together with posts, i am doing it here. same info, different format. seldom use is no reason to let this blog die...

so, i made shrimp dumplings! and they were delicious. amazingly fresh tasting once completed. :D

start with 2 wonton or dumpling wrappers.

add your peeled shrimp in the middle of one

add cilantro on top of that. wet the edges of the circle (it'll act as glue to hold the two sides together)

put the other wrapper on top, forming a ravioli looking thing. try to squeeze out as much air as you can and make sure the edges are sealed.

i folded the edges around onto themselves to try and make sure the seal was there. the crimping was done with a fork for even more closure insurance (some still opened, but oh well).

add them, one at a time, to boiling water. pull from the water once you can see the pink of the shrimp through the wrapper. then add to a pan with bubbling butter and a touch of olive oil and lightly crisp the sides in a hot pan. serve immediately, and enjoy.

    So those dumplings look delicious. I bought some frozen shumai the other day but they were pretty awful. Le disappointment.
    Also, I received Batwoman: Elegy. It is very good, but I wouldn't say it's "THE BEST THING I'VE EVER READ," like that guy at the store did. I'll let you decide.

    (It's super effective.)
