In a bowl, combine the minced shrimp with minced carrots, green onions, ginger, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and a pinch of salt. Mix evenly.

Take a wonton wrapper and place about 1/2 ounce of the shrimp mixture in the center. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with water.
4
Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle and press to seal. For added design, take the two outer corners and fold them towards the top point, creating a cross shape. Place the dumpling on a plate.

Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Then reduce it to a gentle simmer.

Lightly grease a Chinese steamer with sesame oil or non-stick spray. Arrange the dumplings in the steamer, ensuring they are not touching. Cover the steamer.

Steam the dumplings for 7-10 minutes, or until they are firm and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
9
Serve the dumplings immediately in the steamer or on a plate, garnished with cilantro leaves. Provide the dipping sauce in small bowls alongside.
