Crispy Baked Shrimp Wontons
These wontons are not only easy to make but also a healthier alternative to the traditional fried version. You can customize the filling to your liking, making them a versatile option for any palate.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tsp garlic, minced
- 1 tsp ginger, minced
- 30 wonton wrappers
- Olive oil spray
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Sour cream or dipping sauce of choice, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, cream cheese, green onions, garlic, ginger, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully combined.
- Take a wonton wrapper and place about a teaspoon of the shrimp mixture in the center. Moisten the edges of the wrapper with a little water, then fold over to form a triangle. Press the edges to seal securely. For extra flair, you can crimp the edges with a fork.
- Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and filling. You can place them on the baking sheet as you go, ensuring they are spaced apart.
- Once all wontons are assembled, lightly spray the tops with olive oil to help them become crispy during baking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through the baking time for even cooking.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Pair with sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce, and enjoy!
These crispy baked shrimp wontons are not only delectable but also a fun way to get creative in the kitchen. They’re perfect as party snacks, appetizers, or even a light meal paired with a fresh salad. Enjoy every bite!
