The Famous Crispy Wontons


 
Last Christmas I made a variation of a Chuck Hughes recipe for Shrimp Dumplings for Katie’s family. The recipe was an instant hit, I have since been asked to make them on more than one occasion.  I am beginning to think that they believe I don't have any other recipes!
 
I made a few changes to the basic filling recipe by leaving out the pork, cilantro, lime, sesame oil and chilli flakes and adding a couple of tablespoons of hoisin sauce plus more shrimp to make up for the lack of pork.
 
This recipe is fairly labour intensive as you have to individually wrap each wonton and then steam and fry them. I was able to make them ahead of time though and just reheat in the oven just prior to serving. We served them with some plum sauce, but I am sure the sauces on the recipe page would work great too!
