Ingredients

8 ounces Cream Cheese Softened to room temperature
1/2 cup Cooked Shrimp Finely chopped or use small whole cooked shrimp
2 tablespoons Green Onions Finely chopped (white and light green parts preferred)
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/2 teaspoon Soy Sauce
20 pieces Wonton Wrappers
1 large Egg Beaten for sealing
2 inches Vegetable Oil For frying
to taste Chopped Chives For garnish
to taste Sweet Chili Sauce For dipping

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, chopped shrimp, green onions, garlic powder, and soy sauce. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Add about one teaspoon of filling in the center. Brush the edges with the beaten egg, then fold into a triangle or pouch shape. Press tightly to seal.
Heat oil in a deep skillet or pan to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Fry the wontons in small batches for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
Drain the wontons on paper towels. Sprinkle with chopped chives or green onions and serve hot with sweet chili sauce for dipping.

Notes

Store leftover cooked wontons in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven for 8–10 minutes or in an air fryer at 350°F for 3–5 minutes to regain crispiness.
