Step 1
Mix flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a bowl. Gradually add water, stirring until a dough forms. Knead until smooth, about 5 minutes. Cover and rest 30 minutes.
Step 2
Chop shrimp into small pieces. In a bowl, combine shrimp, remaining salt, white pepper, sesame oil, and green onions. Mix well and refrigerate.
Step 3
Divide dough into small balls. Roll each into a thin circle, about 3 inches wide.
Step 4
Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each wrapper. Fold and pleat the edges to seal, forming a crescent shape.
Step 5
Arrange dumplings in a steamer basket lined with parchment paper, leaving space between them.
Step 6
Steam over boiling water for 8-10 minutes until the wrappers are translucent and the shrimp is cooked through.
Step 7
Serve hot with soy sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
