Instructions
Making Grilled Shrimp Wonton with Sweet Spicy Thai Chili Sauce can be a rewarding process. Follow these steps carefully:
1. Marinate the Shrimp: In a bowl, mix the shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, minced ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
2. Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Ensure that it’s clean to prevent sticking and to get those beautiful grill marks.
3. Grill the Shrimp: Once the grill is hot, place the marinated shrimp on skewers for easy handling. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Assemble the Wontons: Take the wonton wrappers and place a grilled shrimp in the center of each. Moisten the edges with water, fold over to form a triangle, and press firmly to seal.
5. Fry or Bake Wontons: You can either deep-fry the wontons in oil until golden brown and crispy or bake them at 375°F (190°C) for about 15 minutes, turning halfway through.
6. Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, mix together sweet Thai chili sauce, lime juice, fish sauce, and Sriracha. Adjust the heat level according to your preference.
7. Serve: Place the crispy wontons on a serving platter, drizzle the sweet spicy sauce on top, and garnish with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro.
