Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup soy sauce, chopped cilantro, lemon zest, 2 tablespoons ginger, and 1 tablespoons sesame oil.
- Peel shrimp, leaving tails on, and devein. Add to soy mixture and marinate, covered, 15 to 20 minutes at room temperature.Drain shrimp in a colander, spread out on paper towels, and pat dry. (I make a horizontal slit, 3/4 of the way through the shrimp, in the middle of the curve of the shrimp so that it will straighten out.).
- Pour oil into a deep, heavy pot to a depth of 3 inches and heat to 375°F Meanwhile, spread out wonton wrappers. Working with one wrapper at a time, put several cilantro leaves and stems along wrapper edge nearest you. Top them with a shrimp, arranging shrimp lengthwise so that tail extends beyond wrapper. Fold the wrapper edge opposite the tail over shrimp. Brush far edge of wrapper with water and, starting with near edge, roll wrapper loosely around shrimp, forming a package. Press seam firmly to seal.
- Preheat oven to 200°F and put a shallow rack in a baking pan. When oil reaches 375°F fry wontons in several batches so as not to crowd them, flipping midway through cooking, until medium golden brown, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. If shrimp begin to brown to quickly, reduce temperature. Lift shrimp out with tongs, draining excess oil, and transfer to baking pan; keep warm in oven.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, the orange and lemon juices, marmalade, green onion, and 2 teaspoons ginger. Serve wontons hot, with dipping sauce on the side.

Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality shrimp: Look for shrimp that are firm, translucent, and have a mild, briny smell. Avoid shrimp that are mushy, discolored, or have a strong odor.
- Clean the shrimp properly: Devein the shrimp by making a shallow cut along the back of the shrimp and removing the dark vein. Rinse the shrimp thoroughly under cold water.
- Use a variety of vegetables in the filling: This will add flavor, texture, and color to the wontons. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onion, and water chestnuts.
- Season the filling well: Use a combination of soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and white pepper to flavor the filling. You can also add a pinch of sugar to balance out the flavors.
- Fold the wontons correctly: To fold the wontons, place a spoonful of filling in the center of a wonton wrapper. Fold the wrapper up over the filling, starting from the bottom and working your way to the top. Make sure to press the edges of the wonton together firmly to seal them.
- Cook the wontons until they are golden brown: You can cook the wontons in a variety of ways, including boiling, steaming, or frying. If you are boiling or steaming the wontons, cook them until they float to the top of the water. If you are frying the wontons, cook them in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the wontons with a dipping sauce: The dipping sauce is a great way to add flavor to the wontons. Some popular dipping sauces include sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce, and chili sauce.
