烧卖 Shao Mai (Meat Dumpling)



Today when i am going to the wet market, i saw some fresh small prawns.  
Buy some and making this shao mai for my kids.
They like to eat this at Restaurant. 
So i made these and keep freeze, so when they want to eat,
 i just unfreeze and steam for them.


Actually i seldom buy this small prawns, u know lah....
