Ingredients
- 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup finely chopped napa cabbage
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the shrimp, napa cabbage, carrots, green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, and cornstarch. Mix until well combined.
- Place a dumpling wrapper in the palm of your hand. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the filling into the center of the wrapper. Moisten the edges with water, fold the wrapper in half, and pinch the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a tablespoon of cooking oil. Arrange the dumplings in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

- Serve the dumplings hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- For a vegetarian option, substitute shrimp with finely chopped mushrooms and tofu.
- Add a dash of chili oil or red pepper flakes to the filling for a spicy kick.
