Shrimp Rangoon
- 1 pound Raw Shrimp, Peeled And Deveined
- 1/2 cups Green Onion, Thinly Sliced
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Soy Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Cracked Black Pepper
- 8 ounces, weight Philadelphia Cream Cheese, Room Temperature
- 1 package Wonton Wrappers (12 Ounce Package)
- 3 cups Canola Oil
- Begin by boiling some water in a large pot (youll need enough water so that your shrimp will be covered when added).
- Once the water hits a boil add a generous pinch of salt and toss in the your shrimp.
- I realize you can buy precooked shrimp, but something about buying precooked shrimp has always bothered me.
- Not sure why, but if you want to take the precooked route, by all means go ahead.
- If you do this, then skip this step.
- Cook the shrimp just until they begin to float to the top.
- They do not take very long to cook.
- Once they float, remove them from the water with a slotted spoon and toss them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking.
- Add the shrimp into a food processor and pulse until they are coarsely chopped.
- Add in the green onion, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, black pepper and cream cheese.
- Pulse this mixture until everything is incorporated.
- Remove it from the food processor and put it into a bowl.
- Dont forget to clean the blade to remove any remaining cheese and shrimp mixture.
- The next step is to make the rangoons.
- Take about one tablespoon of the mixture and add it to the middle of a wonton wrapper.
- Brush the edges of the wonton with water, then fold it into a triangle.
- Try to remove as much air from the triangle so that only the mixture (and not a bunch of air) is enclosed in the wrapper.
- Then gently press the edges to seal.
- Repeat with the remaining filling and wrappers.
- Heat your oil in a pot small pot until it reach 375 degrees F. Slowly add in the formed wontons, being careful not to bunch them up.Cook until they are a nice, golden brown.
- These do not take very long to fry.
- Remove the finished rangoons from the oil with a slotted spoon onto a plate that youve lined with paper towel.
- Repeat until all of the shrimp rangoons are cooked.
- Remember to try a couple along the way.
- This will be a nice surprise to your guests, and possibly a familiar surprise as well.
- The real treat is that when biting into them, your guests will be left with some very nice and succulent shrimp.
- Hope you enjoy.
