- 3
Steam the Dumplings
Prepare a steamer by boiling water in a pot. Line the steamer basket with parchment paper or cabbage leaves to prevent sticking. Place the filled shumai in the steamer, ensuring they are not touching. Cover and steam for about 8-10 minutes until the dumplings are cooked through and the shrimp turn pink.
