Who doesn't love dumplings?
The most comforting appetizer/side dish
I absolutely love dumplings but I know they can be intimidating and time consuming to make. That is why I've created an easy recipe with minimum ingredients of which everyone will love. The filling can be adjusted to whatever you like. You can use pork mince instead of shrimp for example. Feel free to be creative here!
Ingredients in Shrimp Dumplings
You will need all-purpose flour, water and salt to make the dough.
To make the filling you will need shrimp (can be fresh or frozen), onion, garlic, soy sauce, ginger (optional) and sesame oil.

Instructions
- In a large bowl, add the flour, water and salt together and mix using a wooden spoon.
