I like to spoil my book club members. They are always a well fed crowd.
I made some dumplings for Christmas Eve, but these were even better. Previously, I did not use enough oil in the pan and they tasted very dough-y. I tried to crinkle the edges of these to help increase the filling to dough ratio. And it was perfect. These were the perfect party food. They even tasted good when they were room temperature, although with the shrimp, I wouldn’t leave them out too long.
Oh, and don’t skip the dipping sauce. That stuff is awesome.
