Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Shrimp (peeled, deveined, and chopped)
- 60 ml Coconut cream
- 50 grams Shredded unsweetened coconut
- 2 Green onion (finely chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 30 Wonton wrappers
- 1 Egg (beaten, for sealing the wontons)
- 500 ml Vegetable oil (for frying)
- 100 ml Sweet chili sauce (for dipping, optional)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, coconut cream, shredded coconut, green onion, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean, flat surface. Add about 1 teaspoon of the shrimp filling to the center of the wrapper.
Brush the edges of the wonton wrapper lightly with beaten egg using a pastry brush.
Fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges tightly to seal. You can pleat the edges for extra security, if desired.
Repeat with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling until all the wontons are assembled.
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a kitchen thermometer for accuracy.
Carefully lower the wontons into the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Fry the wontons for 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Repeat with the remaining wontons until all are cooked.
Serve the Coconut Shrimp Wontons hot with sweet chili sauce for dipping, if desired.
