I have been trying to perfect my pot sticker recipes for several years now, and I find that the combination of pork and shrimp is by far THE BEST! They are light, flavorful and the dipping sauce that goes with it just gives it a punch. They are a favorite with my family and co-workers and I hope you guys enjoy them as much as we do! - Skinny bitches —Skinny bitches

Simple, classic, easy; the adjectives that come to mind when talking about this recipe. I had never made pot stickers before and I found these to be incredibly easy and yielded great results. I might increase the shrimp and reduce the ground pork but that’s a personal preference. My husband and friends thought the pot stickers were incredible as written. The sauce was excellent too! - Michelle Meeks —Michelle Meeks
