Fried Shrimp Wontons

This is a great appetizer! I kept the filling simple: shrimp, scallions, garlic powder, oyster sauce, sesame oil, white pepper and salt. I didn’t want to add vegetables in case they wander out of the dumplings during the frying process.

Sweet chili sauce is also on my blog

1 pound (454g) large shrimp (21 to 25 count)
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 teaspoon granulated garlic
1/3 cup (25g) thinly sliced scallions
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt, or use 1/2 teaspoon table or sea salt
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
51 to 55 square wonton wrappers, each side should be about 3.5 inches long
canola or vegetable oil for frying, I used about 1 3/4 cups (415ml of oil for frying in my wok)

TIPS:

• cover wrapped wontons with a towel so they don’t dry out
• line a cooling rack with paper towels where you’ll put fried dumplings on top (this will help absorb some of the oil)
• I usually fry the wontons for 1 to 2 minutes
