Ingredients

• 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 cup edamame beans, shelled
• 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 package dumpling wrappers
• Water, for sealing the dumplings
• Vegetable oil, for frying

Directions

1. In a food processor, pulse the shrimp until finely chopped.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, edamame beans, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully combined.
3. Take a dumpling wrapper and place a spoonful of the shrimp mixture in the center. Dip your finger in water and wet the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half to form a half-moon shape. Press the edges firmly to seal the dumpling. Repeat this step with the remaining wrappers and filling.
4. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
5. Place the dumplings in the skillet, flat side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.
6. Add 1/4 cup of water to the skillet and quickly cover with a lid. Steam the dumplings for 3-4 minutes or until the shrimp is cooked through.
7. Remove the lid and cook for an additional minute to crisp up the bottoms of the dumplings.
8. Transfer the dumplings to a serving plate and serve hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
