Ingredients 🛒
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup cooked shrimp, finely chopped (or use small whole shrimp)
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
- 20-24 wonton wrappers
- Oil, for frying
- Sweet chili sauce or soy sauce, for serving
Instructions 👩🍳
1. Make the Filling
In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, chopped shrimp, green onions, garlic powder, and soy sauce until well combined.
2. Assemble the Wontons
- Place a small spoonful of the filling (about 1 teaspoon) into the center of each wonton wrapper.
- Lightly moisten the edges of the wrapper with water.
- Fold into a triangle or bring the corners together to form a little pouch, pressing tightly to seal.
3. Fry the Wontons
- Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the wontons in batches for 2–3 minutes, turning occasionally, until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
4. Serve
Serve hot with sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips for Perfect Wontons
- Don’t overfill: A little filling goes a long way—too much and they might burst open while frying.
- Seal well: Use water along the edges to make sure your wontons stay tightly closed.
- Bake instead of fry: For a lighter version, you can bake the wontons at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes until crisp.
