Ingredients

• 1 pound Shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 30 pieces Wonton wrappers
• 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 0.25 cup Water
• 0 Soy sauce (for dipping, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Place the shrimp in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Alternatively, chop the shrimp finely by hand.

Step 2

In a skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the chopped shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until opaque. Stir in lemon zest, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool completely.

Step 4

Set up a clean work surface and a small bowl of water for sealing the potstickers.

Step 5

Place a wonton wrapper on the work surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the shrimp mixture into the center of the wrapper.

Step 6

Dip your finger into the water and run it around the edge of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half to form a triangle, pressing the edges together to seal. If desired, pleat the edges for a decorative finish.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the potstickers in a single layer, cooking for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden brown.

Step 9

Carefully pour in the water, cover the skillet immediately, and reduce the heat to medium-low. Steam the potstickers for 4-5 minutes until the water has evaporated.

Step 10

Remove the lid and let the potstickers cook for another minute to crisp up the bottoms.

Step 11

Transfer the potstickers to a serving plate and serve with soy sauce for dipping, if desired.
