Shrimp Pot Stickers (Dumplings)

Vseward (Chef~V)'s Note:

I found this recipe to be comparable to PF CHANG's!!!! I make these steamed shrimp wonton wraps as appetizers, served with a soy sauce and they disappear fast. Really easy to make, throw everyting in a food processer makes them come together in no time. You'll want to double this recipe, your guest will want more than one ;)

I doubled the recipe. I omitted the salt. I think that next time I'll use less ginger. I cooked them in my steamer machine. I made the sauce the next day to go with the leftovers we had :) The sauce tastes great. For a first time doing shrimp dumplings, it was great. I'll probably do it again :) Thanks V.
