Finely chop the shrimp and place them in a bowl.
Add grated ginger, minced garlic, sliced green onions, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper to the shrimp. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
Take a wonton wrapper and place it on a clean surface. Keep a bowl of water nearby.
Spoon about one teaspoon of the shrimp mixture into the center of the wonton wrapper.
Dip your finger into the water and moisten the edges of the wrapper lightly.
Fold the wrapper in half diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges together to seal. Ensure there are no air bubbles.
Bring the two opposite corners of the triangle towards each other and seal them with a bit of water, forming a 'nurse cap' shape.
Repeat the filling and folding process with the remaining wrappers and shrimp mixture.
Heat the cooking oil in a deep pan or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add wontons, in batches, to the hot oil. Fry for 3-4 minutes or until the wontons are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried wontons using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve the shrimp wontons hot with your choice of dipping sauce.
