Shrimp dumplings are a favorite Chinese delicacy, with Cantonese-style dim sum being incomplete without delicious shrimp dumplings. Costco offers the Royal Asia brand shrimp dumplings, with each box containing 40 pieces priced at $14.89, accompanied by soy ginger dipping sauce. Enjoy this hometown favorite without having to spend more at a restaurant.
A Chinese chef once remarked that making shrimp dumplings is not easy. While the shrimp filling is not difficult to make, it’s the tapioca skin that poses the real challenge. The skin’s texture, whether too hard, too soft, too sticky, or lacking in chewiness, can affect the taste of the dumplings. She praised the dumplings at Costco for their perfectly-made skin, slightly thick but chewy. The filling is just right, full of freshness, containing crunchy shrimp chunks and chopped bamboo shoots.
