Preparation
In a food processor, add shrimp and grind to a purée.
In a deep bowl, combine previous mixture, chopped water chestnuts, chives, sesame oil, ginger, sugar, sherry, and oyster sauce.
Cut wonton wrappers into a 1.9-inch circle with a cookie cutter, if necessary.
Stuff wonton wrappers with a tablespoon of stuffing and spread. Fold as a quesadilla and crimp edges with your fingers.
In a wok, bring 3 to 4 cups of water to a boil. Place a steamer over boiling water and arrange a bed of lettuce leaves on top.
Place dumplings on top making sure they don’t touch each other to keep them from sticking. Cover steamer and cook dumplings for 10 minutes.
