  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4-5 1x
  • Method: Appetizer
  • Cuisine: Asian Fusion

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 wonton wrappers
  • 1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha (optional for spice)
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 green onion, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Oil for frying
  • Chopped chives or green onion for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a deep skillet to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Shape each wonton wrapper into a cone by folding it in half diagonally, overlapping the two points and pressing firmly to seal.
  3. Carefully lower wonton cones into hot oil and fry for 1-2 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown and crispy.
  4. Remove cones and drain on paper towels, standing upright between glasses or cups to maintain shape while cooling.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine chopped shrimp, mayonnaise, sriracha (if using), sesame oil, rice vinegar, and finely chopped green onion.
  6. Season the shrimp mixture with salt and pepper to taste and stir gently until well incorporated.
  7. Fill each cooled wonton cone with the shrimp salad mixture and garnish with chopped chives or green onion.

Notes

Use tongs to handle wonton cones for better control during frying. You can omit sriracha if you prefer a milder flavor. Stand fried wonton cones upright between glasses to keep their shape while cooling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make the Crispy Shrimp Salad Wonton ahead of time?

You can prepare the shrimp salad filling in advance, but assemble the wontons just before serving to keep them crisp. Store the filling in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one day.

What is the best way to keep the wonton cups crispy?

Bake the wonton wrappers until golden and let them cool completely before filling. Avoid adding wet ingredients to the Crispy Shrimp Salad Wonton until ready to serve to prevent sogginess.

Can I use a different protein in this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute cooked chicken or crab for the shrimp in this Crispy Shrimp Salad Wonton. Adjust seasoning to taste and ensure the protein is finely chopped for easy filling.
