Ingredients
  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

  3. Brush the edges of the wonton wrapper with beaten egg.
  4. Fold the wonton wrapper over the shrimp, pressing firmly to seal.
  5. Heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

  7. Remove the shrimp and drain excess oil on a paper towel-lined plate.

Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy texture. Do not overcrowd the pot when frying.
