Prepare the Spicy Peanut Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the creamy peanut butter, low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, toasted sesame oil, honey, grated fresh ginger, minced garlic, and chili garlic sauce until smooth. Gradually add the warm water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. It should be pourable but still thick enough to coat the shumai. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Cook the Shumai: Prepare the Trader Joe's shrimp shumai according to the package directions, typically by steaming. If steaming, bring about 1 inch of water to a boil in a pot fitted with a steamer basket. Place the shumai in a single layer in the steamer basket, ensuring they do not touch. Cover and steam for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they are heated through and tender.
