1. In a food processor, whirl 1/4 lb. shrimp until not quite a smooth paste. 2. Add remaining 1/4 lb. shrimp and pulse to chop coarsely. 3. Pulse in chives. 4. Divide mixture into 24 pieces. 5. Roll each piece into a ball and place in parchment-lined steamers (see How to Steam Dim Sum, below). 6. Steam dumplings until cooked through, about 10 minutes. 7. Serve immediately. 8. How to Steam Dim Sum: Measure your steamer basket and choose a pot with a diameter at least 2 inches wider. 9. To keep dumplings from sticking, cut a circle of parchment paper 1 inches smaller in diameter than the basket (so steam can flow up around the edges) and fit it inches 10. Pour enough water into pot to come 1 inches up side and bring to a boil over high heat. 11. Fill basket with dim sum first, then set it in the pot. 12. Cover and cook, adding hot water as needed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
