PORK-AND-SHRIMP WONTONS WITH PEANUT SAUCE
Steps:
- For the spicy peanut sauce: Combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, oil, vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, chili paste and water in a blender. Blend until smooth, adding more water as needed. Set aside.
- For the wontons: In a large bowl, combine the pork, shrimp, chives, sesame oil, soy sauce, brown sugar, salt and pepper. Mix everything gently but thoroughly together with your hands (or a wooden spoon).
- Bring a large saucepan filled with 3 to 4 inches of chicken stock to a boil.
- Place 1 tablespoon of the pork mixture in the middle of a wonton wrapper. With your finger, dab the edges of the top half of the wrapper with beaten egg. Fold the top over to enclose the filling, press to seal the edges, then fold two corners in and press to seal the corners together. Place the finished wonton on a lightly floured baking sheet and repeat with the rest of the filling and wrappers.
- When you have enough wontons to begin to cook, gently transfer wontons into the boiling stock, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Simmer until the filling is cooked through, about 5 minutes. Continue forming wontons while the batches cook.
- Transfer cooked wontons to a bowl. Top with peanut sauce, a drizzle of toasted sesame oil, and garnish with some cilantro and serrano pepper slices. Enjoy!

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup soy sauce, chopped cilantro, lemon zest, 2 tablespoons ginger, and 1 tablespoons sesame oil.
- Peel shrimp, leaving tails on, and devein. Add to soy mixture and marinate, covered, 15 to 20 minutes at room temperature.Drain shrimp in a colander, spread out on paper towels, and pat dry. (I make a horizontal slit, 3/4 of the way through the shrimp, in the middle of the curve of the shrimp so that it will straighten out.).
- Pour oil into a deep, heavy pot to a depth of 3 inches and heat to 375°F Meanwhile, spread out wonton wrappers. Working with one wrapper at a time, put several cilantro leaves and stems along wrapper edge nearest you. Top them with a shrimp, arranging shrimp lengthwise so that tail extends beyond wrapper. Fold the wrapper edge opposite the tail over shrimp. Brush far edge of wrapper with water and, starting with near edge, roll wrapper loosely around shrimp, forming a package. Press seam firmly to seal.
- Preheat oven to 200°F and put a shallow rack in a baking pan. When oil reaches 375°F fry wontons in several batches so as not to crowd them, flipping midway through cooking, until medium golden brown, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. If shrimp begin to brown to quickly, reduce temperature. Lift shrimp out with tongs, draining excess oil, and transfer to baking pan; keep warm in oven.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, the orange and lemon juices, marmalade, green onion, and 2 teaspoons ginger. Serve wontons hot, with dipping sauce on the side.

SCRUMPTIOUS SHRIMP WONTONS
What a great party appetizer! There are a few steps, but these are not very hard to put together. The filling is fabulous and the bit of sesame oil is a nice touch of added flavor. I dipped them in a bit of sweet chili sauce... oh they were good! We steamed them this time. But, next time, I'm going to try them fried.

Steps:
- 1. Combine first 9 ingredients in a non-reactive bowl and mix well - you may need to get dirty and use your fingers to get the proper consistency :)!
- 2. Refrigerate for about 1 hour to allow marinade to set.
- 3. Place one wonton wrapper in front of you on a 'diamond' angle - so one of the points is pointing directly at you.
- 4. Add a small dollop of the shrimp mixture (a bit bigger than a quarter) to the center of your wonton wrapper. Do not overfill or your wontons will be hard to seal properly.
- 5. Dipping your index finger in water, trace the exposed edges of the wonton wrapper. This is what will make it stick together. Try not to get it too wet, just enough to moisten it.
- 6. Fold the edge of the wonton wrapper closest to you (that diamond point) over the dollop of shrimp and join it with the corresponding point on the other edge, pinching the wrapper together firmly.
- 7. Using your index fingers, seal the edges of the wrapper on either side of the joined points, making a triangle 'pouch'. Avoid having air bubbles inside the wonton or it will rupture when boiled.
- 8. Turn the triangle pouch around so the center point is once again facing you
- 9. Moisten the top edge of the right point of the triangle, then gently bend the left and right points together firmly pinching the left point on top of the right.
- 10. Repeat until you have used all the shrimp mixture - about 30 dumplings.
- 11. Cooking dumplings: - If Deep Frying - cook in hot vegetable or peanut oil for 4-5 mins or until golden brown. - If Boiling - place the dumplings into boiling water (with a drizzle of sesame oil) for about 5 mins from fresh or 8-10 mins from frozen. - If Steaming - about 5-6 minutes from fresh or 10 mins from frozen.

Steps:
- 1. In a medium sized bowl, mix together the shrimp, the egg white, and the rest of the ingredients, with the exception of the egg yolk.
- 2. Add the cornstarch and stir to blend. The mixture should be stiff. Set aside to marinate for a half-hour.
- 3. Lightly beat the egg yolk in a bowl. You will be using it to assemble the wontons.
- 4. Place a wonton skin on a flat, dry work surface with a corner pointing toward you. Place 1 teaspoon of filling in the center of the wrapper.
- 5. Lightly brush the two edges farthest from you with beaten egg yolk. Fold the Wonton in half, away from you, making a triangle. Press edges firmly to seal.
- 6. Lightly brush the two corners nearest you with egg yolk, fold them over your finger, and press together to seal. (This makes them look like cute bundles, but don't worry if they come apart in the hot oil; what matters is that the filling stays out.)
- 7. Place the finished wontons on a tray that has been lightly dusted with cornstarch.
- 8. Heat Vegetable oil in a deep skillet. Fry Wontons a few at a time until golden.
- 9. Drain on paper towels and serve warm, as-is or with your favorite plum sauce or dumpling sauce.
Tips:
- Make sure to use fresh shrimp for the best flavor.
- If you don't have wonton wrappers, you can use egg roll wrappers instead.
- Be careful not to overcook the shrimp, as it will become tough.
- You can fry the wontons in a pan or bake them in the oven.
- Serve the wontons with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sweet and sour sauce or soy sauce.
Conclusion:
Shrimp wontons are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be enjoyed as a meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that everyone will love.
