Instructions

Finely chop the shrimp. In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, diced mango, chopped cilantro, chopped red chili, lime juice, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Mix well to form the filling.
~10 min - 2
Place a wonton wrapper on a clean surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the shrimp and mango filling into the center of the wrapper.
~5 min - 3
Moisten the edges of the wonton wrapper with a little water. Fold the wrapper in half to create a triangle, pressing firmly to seal the edges and remove any air pockets. You can also bring the four corners together to form a purse shape.
~10 min - 4
Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat until it reaches approximately 350°F (175°C). Carefully fry the wonton bites in batches, for about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
~10 min - 5
Remove the fried wonton bites with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
~2 min - 6
Arrange the Spicy Mango & Shrimp Wonton Bites on a serving platter and serve immediately.
Tips
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying. If the oil is too cool, the wontons will absorb too much oil and become greasy. If it's too hot, they will burn before cooking through.
- For a healthier option, you can bake these wonton bites. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
