Steps:

Dumplings:
Combine scallops, shrimp, scallions, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil and pepper in a large bowl. Organize you work area with a bowl of cold water, your stack of dumpling wrappers and a floured baking sheet to hold filled dumplings.
Working with one dumpling at a time, dip your finger into the water and moisten the edges of the circular wrapper. Spoon about 1 1/2 teaspoons of filling into the center. Fold the wrapper over to form a half-circle. Pinch the edges together to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling. Cover the wrappers and finished dumplings with moist paper towels to prevent drying.
Preheat oven to 200°F. Mix 1 tablespoon canola oil with 1/4 cup water in a large nonstick skillet and place over medium heat; bring to a simmer. Carefully arrange one-third of the dumplings in the skillet so they are not touching; cover and cook until the dumplings puff up and are light brown on the bottom, 4 to 5 minutes. Carefully flip the dumplings with tongs and cook for 1 minute more. Transfer the dumplings to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Repeat the procedure with another 1/4 cup water, the remaining canola oil and half the remaining dumplings. Cook the final batch of dumplings in the remaining 1/4 cup water, adjusting the heat as necessary to prevent scorching. (There will be enough oil left over in the pan for the final batch). Serve hot with Ginger-Garlic Dipping Sauce, if desired.
Ginger-Garlic Dipping Sauce:
Combine soy sauce, lemon juice, vinegar, garlic, cilantro, ginger and sesame oil in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
