Ingredients

• 250 grams Shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 2 pieces Scallions, finely chopped
• 50 grams Feta cheese, crumbled
• 30 grams Sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 20 pieces Whole wheat dumpling wrappers
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 100 milliliters Water

Directions

Step 1

Start by finely chopping the shrimp into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add minced garlic, chopped scallions, crumbled feta cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh parsley, and lemon zest to the shrimp.

Step 3

Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, and mix thoroughly to combine all the ingredients.

Step 4

Take a dumpling wrapper and place a heaping teaspoon of the shrimp mixture in the center.

Step 5

Moisten the edge of the wrapper with a little water, then fold it over the filling to form a half-moon shape.

Step 6

Press the edges together to seal, ensuring there are no air bubbles, and crimp the edges for a decorative finish.

Step 7

Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling.

Step 8

Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 9

Arrange the dumplings in a single layer in the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 10

Carefully pour in 100 milliliters of water into the skillet and immediately cover with a lid to steam the dumplings.

Step 11

Allow the dim sum to steam for about 8-10 minutes, or until the wrappers are tender and the filling is cooked through.

Step 12

Remove the lid and let the remaining water evaporate.

Step 13

Transfer the shrimp dim sum to a serving platter and serve them warm, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
