Shrimp & Scallion Pot Stickers

3/4 pound peeled and deveined shrimp, finely chopped
3 tablespoons olive or sesame oil (olive oil used in NI)
3 cloves minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced peeled ginger
1 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
3 scallions, finely chopped
36 dumpling or wonton wrappers
1/4 tsp salt

Stir together all ingredients, except wrappers, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.

Put a rounded teaspoon filling in center of a wrapper. Lightly brush edge of wrapper with water, then fold in half (diagonally if square) and press to seal. Form a tortellini shape by moistening 1 corner and bringing 2 corners together, pressing them. Form remaining dumplings.

Cook dumplings in 2 batches in a medium pot of gently simmering water until filling is just cooked, about 3 minutes per batch. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a platter. Keep warm, covered.

Serve with Sesame Ginger dipping sauce.
