Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Shrimp
- 24 pieces Gluten-free wonton wrappers
- 3 pieces Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Ginger, freshly grated
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Tamari or gluten-free soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
Instructions
Peel and devein the shrimp, then chop them finely and place in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Add the chopped green onions, freshly grated ginger, minced garlic, tamari, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the shrimp. Mix all the ingredients well to form a uniform filling.
Prepare your working area with a small bowl of water and a clean surface for assembling the wontons.
Take a wonton wrapper and place a teaspoon of the shrimp filling in the center.
Dip your finger in the water and moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper.
Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a triangle, ensuring that you press out any air and seal the edges completely.
Hold the two corners of the triangle and bring them together to overlap, sealing them with a little water to form the traditional wonton shape.
Repeat the filling and folding process with the remaining wrappers and filling until all wontons are assembled.
Bring a large pot of water to a gentle boil and add the cornstarch to prevent the wontons from sticking.
Gently drop the wontons into the boiling water in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Cook each batch for 3-5 minutes, or until the wontons are floating and the shrimp is cooked through.
Carefully use a slotted spoon to remove the wontons from the boiling water and transfer them to a serving plate.
Serve hot with tamari or chili oil on the side for dipping.
