Shrimp Wontons With Sweet Cilantro Dipping Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the cilantro, oil, chives and garlic. Add the shrimp; seal bag and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour., In a blender, combine the sauce ingredients; cover and process until blended. Chill until serving., Thread shrimp onto four metal or soaked wooden skewers. Grill, covered, over medium heat for 2-3 minutes on each side or until shrimp turn pink. Serve with sauce.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup soy sauce, chopped cilantro, lemon zest, 2 tablespoons ginger, and 1 tablespoons sesame oil.
• Peel shrimp, leaving tails on, and devein. Add to soy mixture and marinate, covered, 15 to 20 minutes at room temperature.Drain shrimp in a colander, spread out on paper towels, and pat dry. (I make a horizontal slit, 3/4 of the way through the shrimp, in the middle of the curve of the shrimp so that it will straighten out.).
• Pour oil into a deep, heavy pot to a depth of 3 inches and heat to 375°F Meanwhile, spread out wonton wrappers. Working with one wrapper at a time, put several cilantro leaves and stems along wrapper edge nearest you. Top them with a shrimp, arranging shrimp lengthwise so that tail extends beyond wrapper. Fold the wrapper edge opposite the tail over shrimp. Brush far edge of wrapper with water and, starting with near edge, roll wrapper loosely around shrimp, forming a package. Press seam firmly to seal.
• Preheat oven to 200°F and put a shallow rack in a baking pan. When oil reaches 375°F fry wontons in several batches so as not to crowd them, flipping midway through cooking, until medium golden brown, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. If shrimp begin to brown to quickly, reduce temperature. Lift shrimp out with tongs, draining excess oil, and transfer to baking pan; keep warm in oven.
• In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, the orange and lemon juices, marmalade, green onion, and 2 teaspoons ginger. Serve wontons hot, with dipping sauce on the side.

Steps:

• WONTONS: Mix filling ingredients together thoroughly. Refrigerate mixture for 1 hour.
• SAUCE: In a small saucepan, heat pineapple juice with the green onion. Simmer until green onion is tender.
• Run the peaches and marmalade through a food processor till chopped very fine. Add to saucepan. Add remaining ingredients and simmer, stirring occasionally, until heated through and reduced to your desired thickness.
• Meanwhile, Remove filling from fridge and place a spoonful into the center of each wonton wrapper. Lightly wet half of the edges of the wrappers with water. Fold the wrapper over the filling, forming a half moon (or triangle for square wonton wrappers) and seal completely. NOTE: you can freeze the wontons at this point for OAMC).
• Over low to medium heat 2 tablespoons oil (more if/as needed) into a skillet. Fry wontons (in batches) until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt if desired. Serve with dipping sauce.
• If freezing, thaw to room temperature before frying.

Steps:

• To make the dip, finely chop the chili, then mix with the honey and soy and stir well: set aside.
• To make the shrimp rolls, finely chop the cilantro and garlic and mix with the curry paste.
• Brush each wonton wrapper with egg whites and place a small dab of the cilantro mixture in the center. Place a shrimp on top and fold over, enclosing the shrimp and leaving the tail exposed. Repeat with the other shrimp.
• Heat the oil in a deep heavy bottomed pot or pan to 350 degrees F. Fry shrimp in small batches for 1-2 minutes (turning to prevent burning) each until are golden brown and crisp. Drain on paper towels.
• Serve with the dip.
• TIP -- If you prefer, use phyllo pastry in place of wonton wrappers, put the paste and a shrimp on one end, then brush with egg white and wrap the pastry around the shrimp to enclose and fry.

Steps:

• Shell and devein the shrimp. Pat dry.
• In a medium bowl, mix the oregano, thyme, lemon-pepper, ground chipotle, salt and pepper. Add shrimp and toss thoroughly.
• Put the cilantro and lime juice in a blender and blend until cilantro is liquified. Pour into a small bowl and stir in sour cream. Refrigerate until the shrimp is cooked.
• Skewer the shrimp or place in a grill basket. Cook on a hot grill about 2 minutes per side, until shrimp are no longer translucent. Brush both sides lightly with oil while cooking.
• Serve hot or at room temperature with the dipping sauce.
