Shrimp wonton recipes

The charm of shrimp as a filling ingredient for wonton lies in the freshness, crunchiness and sweetness it brings to the filling.

It is like adding the taste of the sea, and it can be irresistible.

Using shrimp in wontons is very Cantonese style. Most of the Northern China versions do not contain shrimp.

Of those who love shrimps in wontons, some like wontons made with fresh shrimps only, some like a balance between shrimp and pork.

Some prefer more pork than shrimp, and others want more shrimp than pork.

Turkey shrimp wonton

This is a great wonton recipe for those thanksgiving turkey leftovers.

Traditionally, we would chop and mince everything by hand. With modern technology, you can use the handy food processor to mince the turkey and the water chestnuts.

It is advisable to chop the shrimps by hand because we don't want the shrimps to become too mushy and sticky due to over-processing. Combine the turkey, water chestnuts and seasonings together in the food processor. Take everything out and fold in the shrimps.
