Wonton Wrapped Shrimp Recipes

FRIED SHRIMP WONTONS

Steps:

• Cut 2/3 of the shrimp into small pieces. Mince the remaining 1/3 of the shrimp into ground shrimp. Combine the shrimp with all the Seasoning ingredients together. Stir to mix well.
• Assemble the shrimp wontons by placing a piece of the wonton wrapper on a flat surface. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the shrimp filling on the middle of the wrapper. Do not overfill.
• Fold to form a tri-angle shape. Using the thumbs and index fingers of both hands, press and squeeze both sides of the wonton towards to the center to form the folds. Make sure the wontons are sealed tightly. Place the wrapped wontons on a floured surface or baking sheet.
• Heat 2 to 3 inches of the oil in a wok or small stockpot to 350°F (176°C) for deep-frying. Gently drop the shrimp wontons into the oil and deep-fry in batches until they turn golden brown. Dish out with a strainer or slotted spoon, draining the excess oil with paper towels. Serve warm with the mayonnaise.

SHRIMP WONTONS

Steps:

• Coarsely chop the shrimp into pieces (not too small) and mix well with the rest of the ingredients. Set aside. Fill each wonton wrapper with about 1 heaping teaspoon of the shrimp filling. Seal the edges of each wonton wrapper with the beaten egg.
• Boil the wontons in boiling water for a couple of minutes or until they float to the top or steam the shrimp wontons for about 6-8 minutes in a steamer. Serve hot with ginger vinegar dipping sauce.

WONTON WRAPPED SHRIMP

Steps:

• Place shrimp in a bowl and add the garlic, coriander, fish or soy sauce, oyster sauce, brown sugar, and chili.
• Toss well and set aside to marinate 10 minutes (or up to 30). Meanwhile, prepare your pan or wok for frying. A wok requires oil. Pour oil about 1 inch deep.
• Toss the shrimp once again before wrapping. To wrap, lay out the first wonton wrapper on the diagonal (point facing towards you). Brush the entire surface with beaten egg, then position the shrimp horizontally across the center (with its tail sticking out past the left corner). Fold the right corner over the bottom of the shrimp, then bring up the bottom and tuck over. Roll quite tightly to finish and press firmly to seal.
• Place wrapped shrimp on a plate lightly dusted with cornstartch (to keep wrappers from sticking).
• Heat oil over medium-high heat. To test if oil is hot enough, dip one of the wrapped shrimp in - if it starts to sizzle and cook, the oil is ready. Fry the wrapped shrimp about 1 minute per side or until light golden brown and crunchy. Once your first batch is frying, reduce heat to medium. Drain on paper towels.
• Serve immediately either as or with Thai sweet chili sauce for dipping. This appetizer can be kept in a warm oven (uncovered) for up to 1 hour.

SHRIMP AND PORK WONTON SOUP

Steps:

• Gather all the ingredients.
• To make wonton soup, cut 1 green onion into 2 inch (5 cm) pieces. Add the chicken stock and the green onion in a large pot and bring to boil.
• Once boiling, season with sesame oil, kosher salt, and white pepper powder. Turn off the heat and set aside.
• To make fillings, chop 2 green onions into small rounds. Save some chopped green onion to serve with the soup.
• Chop cilantro and set aside to serve with the soup.
• Cut the shrimp into smaller pieces, and then cut them into even smaller pieces (almost like paste).
• In a large bowl, combine the pork, shrimp, and chopped green onion. Grate fresh ginger and add to the mixture.
• Add all the wonton seasoning ingredients to the mixture and mix well.
• While you wrap wontons, bring a large pot of water to boil. Place a wonton wrapper on your hand. Place a teaspoon of the filling in the center of the wrapper. Start with a small amount so it's easier to work with. Use your finger to moisten the edges of the wrapper with water.
• When the edges have been moistened, fold the wrapper in half to create a rectangular shape, pressing any air that might be trapped around the filling. Fold the sides inward so that they overlap.
• Wet the portion where the sides meet. Pinch to close and seal.
• Here is the cute little wonton! Place the finished wontons on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover with plastic to keep them moist as you continue with the remaining fillings and wrappers.
