Peel and de-vein shrimp. Cut 8-10 shrimp in small pieces. Then start chopping to make the shrimp into a paste.

Start the filling by adding ground pork, shrimp paste, sliced green onion, minced ginger, soy sauce, oil, sugar, salt, white pepper, corn starch chicken bouillon, water, and 1 egg in a bowl. Pro Tip: Add your water in gradually while you stir. This helps create a super tender filling!
