SHRIMP RANGOON

Just cooked our first shrimp of the season and thought I'd give this simple recipe a try....A rangoon using shrimp instead of crabmeat. Yum! Soy sauce, duck sauce or hot mustard make good dippers if you like. I like mine plain....=)

SHRIMP RANGOON

Better than crab rangoon! The cheese is seasoned, and the use of shrimp instead of crab makes the appetizers even more flavorful. This is an original recipe, created by my boyfriend and me.

Provided by Carol Michels

Categories     Other Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 8

16 oz cream cheese, softened
4 oz canned shrimp, drained and chopped
3 whole green onions, chopped
1/8 tsp granulated garlic
1 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 dash(es) tabasco sauce
1/2 tsp soy sauce
60 wonton wrappers (12-oz. pkg.)

Steps:

  • 1. In medium bowl, combine all ingredients except wonton wrappers, and mix until well blended.
  • 2. Using a pastry brush, moisten edges of wonton wrapper with water. Place scant teaspoon of filling in center of wonton wrapper. Fold in half to form triangle, pressing edges to seal. Pull bottom corners across and overlap slightly; moisten one corner and press to seal tips together.
  • 3. Fry in deep fryer at 350 F, turning once, until golden brown on both sides (about 4 minutes).
  • 4. Serve plain, or with seafood cocktail sauce.
  • 5. May be prepared ahead and frozen until ready to cook.

Tips:

  • To make the wonton wrappers easier to work with, thaw them completely before using. If they are still too stiff, you can microwave them for a few seconds to soften them up.
  • Be careful not to overfill the wonton wrappers. Too much filling will make them difficult to seal and they will fall apart during frying.
  • Use a deep fryer or a large saucepan filled with oil to fry the Rangoon. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from getting soggy.
  • Fry the Rangoon in batches so that they don't overcrowd the pan. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Serve the Rangoon immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. They are best enjoyed hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Shrimp Rangoon is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any party or potluck. With its creamy filling and crispy wonton wrapper, it's sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a tasty and unique appetizer, give Shrimp Rangoon a try. You won't be disappointed!
