Step 1
In a bowl, mix 1 cup tapioca starch with 3/4 cup boiling water until a dough forms. Knead until smooth, about 2 minutes.
Step 2
Toss 1/2 pound shrimp with 1 tablespoon fish sauce and 2 sliced scallions. Let marinate while you shape the dough.
Step 3
Divide dough into 12 balls. Flatten each into a disc, place a shrimp piece in the center, and fold to seal. Pinch edges tightly.
Step 4
Arrange dumplings on a banana leaf or parchment in a steamer. Steam over boiling water until translucent and shrimp is pink, about 10 minutes.
Step 5
Serve warm, garnished with extra scallions if desired.
