02 — Equipment

1 Dutch oven with lid (26 cm / 10 in)

1 bowl (22 cm / 9 in) for the dough

1 cutting board (35 × 25 cm / 14 × 10 in)

03 — Method

Mix the flour, a pinch of salt and the warm water and knead for 5 minutes into a soft, non-sticky dough.
Roll into hazelnut-size balls between floured palms and set aside without touching.
Cook the onion and garlic in the oil for 4 minutes, then add the tomatoes and whole chili and simmer for 8 minutes.
Add 400 ml (1⅔ cups) hot water, bring to a simmer, drop in the dumplings and cook, covered, for 20 minutes, stirring halfway.
Add the shrimp and cook 5 minutes more, uncovered, until just pink.
Remove the chili, add the lime juice, adjust the salt and serve hot.
