Peel and devein shrimp, then chop finely.
In a mixing bowl, combine chopped shrimp, coconut aminos, minced ginger, chopped green onions, minced garlic, sesame oil, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix well and set aside.
In a separate bowl, prepare the wonton wrappers by combining coconut flour, arrowroot starch, warm water, egg, and a pinch of sea salt. Knead into a smooth dough.
Divide the dough into small balls, then roll each ball on a lightly floured surface into a thin disk about 3 inches in diameter.
Place about 1 teaspoon of the shrimp mixture in the center of each dough disk.
Fold the disk over the filling to form a half-moon shape, pressing the edges together to seal.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Place wontons in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and the shrimp is cooked through.
Remove from skillet and serve immediately.
