Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. - If you don't have time to make the wonton wrappers from scratch, you can use store-bought spring roll wrappers instead. - Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as they will become tough. - Serve the appetizers with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as sweet and sour sauce, chili sauce, or hoisin sauce. - For a vegetarian version of the appetizers, you can omit the shrimp and add in extra vegetables, such as shredded carrots, cabbage, or bell peppers.Conclusion
