Tasty shrimp-filled dumplings look like brains after they've been boiled and drained. If you don't overload the wonton wrappers, they're much easier to pinch closed. Serve hot or cold.

Ingredients

Cocktail Sauce:

Method

Cocktail Sauce: In small bowl, combine ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot pepper sauce (if using). (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.)

In food processor, finely chop together shallot, chives, dill, garlic, salt and pepper. Add shrimp; pulse until coarsely chopped.

Wet edges of 1 side of wonton wrapper with water. Place heaping 1 tsp filling in centre. Bring wrapper up and around filling; gather edges and pinch together to seal and make pouch. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling. (Make-ahead: Cover with damp towel and overwrap with plastic wrap; refrigerate for up to 2 hours.)

In large pot of boiling water, cook dumplings until floating on surface, about 3 minutes; drain well. Serve with cocktail sauce.
