Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Ginger, freshly grated
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce, low-sodium
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 24 pieces Wonton wrappers
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 1 as needed Vegetable or cooking spray
- 1 to taste Dipping sauce (soy sauce or your preferred light dip)
Instructions
1. Finely chop the shrimp and place them in a mixing bowl.
2. Add the green onions, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil to the shrimp. Mix thoroughly to combine.
3. In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with the water to form a slurry. This will be used to seal the wontons.
4. Lay out the wonton wrappers on a clean surface. Place 1 teaspoon of the shrimp mixture in the center of each wrapper.
5. Dip your finger into the cornstarch mixture and run it along the edges of a wonton wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half diagonally to create a triangle, pressing the edges firmly to seal. Optionally, bring the two bottom corners together and pinch to form a traditional wonton shape. Repeat for all wrappers.
6. Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
7. Add the wontons in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch. Cook for 2 minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown.
8. Add a few tablespoons of water to the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Let the wontons steam for 3-4 minutes or until the shrimp filling is fully cooked.
9. Remove the wontons from the skillet and serve immediately with your preferred dipping sauce.
