Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb raw shrimp (peeled, deveined and chopped)
2 scallions (finely chopped)
1/2-inch piece fresh ginger (peeled and grated)
1 clove fresh garlic (finely minced)
1 tsp rice vinegar
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp soy sauce
1/4 tsp ground white pepper
salt to taste
1 tsp cornstarch
1 egg, separated
1 pkg thin wonton skins
oil for frying wontons

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium sized bowl, mix together the shrimp, the egg white, and the rest of the ingredients, with the exception of the egg yolk.
  • 2. Add the cornstarch and stir to blend. The mixture should be stiff. Set aside to marinate for a half-hour.
  • 3. Lightly beat the egg yolk in a bowl. You will be using it to assemble the wontons.
  • 4. Place a wonton skin on a flat, dry work surface with a corner pointing toward you. Place 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of the wrapper.
  • 5. Lightly brush the two edges farthest from you with beaten egg yolk. Fold the Wonton in half, away from you, making a triangle. Press edges firmly to seal.
  • 6. Lightly brush the two corners nearest you with egg yolk, fold them over your finger, and press together to seal. (This makes them look like cute bundles, but don't worry if they come apart in the hot oil; what matters is that the filling stays out.)
  • 7. Place the finished wontons on a tray that has been lightly dusted with cornstarch.
  • 8. Heat Vegetable oil in a deep skillet. Fry Wontons a few at a time until golden.
  • 9. Drain on paper towels and serve warm, as-is or with your favorite plum sauce or dumpling sauce.

I made these shrimp wontons in my air fryer and they turned out great! They were crispy and delicious.

I'm allergic to shrimp, so I made these wontons with chicken instead. They were still delicious!

These shrimp wontons were a bit too expensive for my taste. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but the shrimp wontons didn't turn out crispy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The shrimp wontons were a bit too oily for my liking. I think I would use less oil next time.

These shrimp wontons were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more spices next time.

I'm not a fan of wontons, but I tried these shrimp wontons and they were actually pretty good. I would definitely make them again.
