I heard of this shrimp appetizer made out of wonton wrappers and shrimp that you dip in a jalapeno jelly. As is my custom, I “doctored” the recipe and am sharing it here with you!
Makes 24 pieces.
- 12 large shrimp, raw, peeled & deveined
- 24 wonton skins
- 1/3 cup of milk
- 3 green onions, finely chopped
- 4 tbsps fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly julienned
- 4 ozs cream cheese, softened
- vegetable oil for frying
Slice shrimp in half length-wise.
Dip wonton wrapper in milk. In the middle of the wonton wrapper, place shrimp diagonally. Add a sprinkle of green onions, cilantro, and a couple red bell pepper pieces. Top with a 1/2 tsp of cream cheese.
Roll up from one corner and place seam side down in frying pan with about 1/2 inch of hot oil. Fry until light brown on each side.
Serve with Raspberry-Jalapeno jelly for dipping.
You can buy the Raspberry-Jalapeno jelly here: Raspberry & Raspberry Jalapeno Jelly
Alternately, you can make your own jelly by mixing raspberry or apricot preserves with hot jalapeno jelly; though this A Bountiful Harvest brand is delicious!
