Shrimp and Pork Shumai
are traditional fare on the Chinese dim sum table. In this version, the preparation is simplified with purchased dumpling wrappers (sometimes labeled shumai wrappers). If you have two bamboo steamer baskets (or a two-tiered metal steamer), you can steam all of the dumplings at once.
