Description

Crispy deep‑fried wonton‑wrapped shrimp seasoned lightly and perfect as a bite‑sized appetizer inspired by deesviral.


Ingredients

  • 12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined (tails on or off as preferred)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Black pepper (to taste)
  • Garlic powder (a pinch)
  • Paprika (a pinch)
  • Soy sauce (about 1 tbsp)
  • Sesame oil (about 1 tsp)
  • Wonton wrappers (12 or a few extra for error)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, toss shrimp with salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, soy sauce and sesame oil; marinate for about 10 minutes.
  2. Lay out wonton wrappers and place one shrimp on each; wrap and seal edges with water.
  3. Heat oil to ~350 °F (175 °C); carefully fry the wrapped shrimp until golden and crispy, about 3–4 minutes.
  4. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  5. Serve hot, optionally with a dipping sauce of choice.

Notes

  • Do not overfill wrappers to prevent bursting during frying.
  • Ensure oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy texture.
  • You can wrap extra and freeze for later use.
