Thought this would make a tasty shrimp appy for New Years' Eve, etc.
Loosely translated...
Peel, devein, & rinse your shrimp, leaving the tails ON.
Chop up some cilantro, setting some whole leaves aside.
Combine soy sauce, lemon zest, minced fresh ginger, chopped cilantro & toasted sesame oil; marinate the shrimp in mixture - covered about 20 minutes. Drain & pat shrimp dry.
Put a few cilantro leaves on wonton wrappers, top w shrimp facing lengthwise with the tail extending from the wrapper. Start at farthest end of wrapper & roll up the shrimp/cilantro. The tail should be sticking out of one end. Press wonton edge to seal & brush the end of the wrapper w water or egg wash.
Pour oil into a deep pot and heat to 375. Fry wontons in batches until golden brown. Lift shrimp out with tongs, draining oil, and keep warm in oven. (I may try baking the shrimp wontons - spraying them with cooking spray - your choice.)
For dipping sauce - Mix 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1 tbsp. sesame oil, orange and lemon juice, orange marmalade, chopped green onions, and ginger -- or any dipping sauce of choice, hot mustard etc.
