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.

Assemble and Serve: Carefully remove the hot shumai from the steamer. Arrange them attractively on a serving platter. Drizzle generously with the prepared spicy peanut sauce.

Garnish: Sprinkle the shumai with thinly sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, and red pepper flakes (if using). Serve immediately as an appetizer.
