【Crystal Shrimp Dumplings】--- Cantonese classic tea snack
Overview
Crystal shrimp dumplings are one of the classic Cantonese tea snacks and are a traditional delicacy in teahouses and restaurants.

The best shrimp dumplings are beautiful in shape, not only as white as snow, but also as thin as paper, in a translucent crystal state, and the filling is faintly visible. They taste soft, smooth, fresh, and delicious. They are highly praised by diners at home and abroad and have endured for a long time.
