Ingredients

• 250 grams Shrimp (peeled, deveined, and chopped)
• 60 ml Coconut cream
• 50 grams Shredded unsweetened coconut
• 2 Green onion (finely chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 30 Wonton wrappers
• 1 Egg (beaten, for sealing the wontons)
• 500 ml Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 100 ml Sweet chili sauce (for dipping, optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, coconut cream, shredded coconut, green onion, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 2

Place a wonton wrapper on a clean, flat surface. Add about 1 teaspoon of the shrimp filling to the center of the wrapper.

Step 3

Brush the edges of the wonton wrapper lightly with beaten egg using a pastry brush.

Step 4

Fold the wrapper diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges tightly to seal. You can pleat the edges for extra security, if desired.

Step 5

Repeat with the remaining wonton wrappers and filling until all the wontons are assembled.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or pot over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a kitchen thermometer for accuracy.

Step 7

Carefully lower the wontons into the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.

Step 8

Fry the wontons for 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining wontons until all are cooked.

Step 10

Serve the Coconut Shrimp Wontons hot with sweet chili sauce for dipping, if desired.
