shrimp dumplings

Steamed seafood parcels

Shrimp dumplings are a Cantonese dim sum dish consisting of whole or chopped shrimp wrapped in a thin, translucent dough made from wheat and tapioca starches, then steamed.

The classic version, har gow, features a pleated wrapper that becomes slightly sticky and chewy when cooked: We ordered shrimp dumplings and char siu bao.
