Steamed Shrimp Wontons

While many people enjoy crispy fried wontons, many have also asked for a good steamed wonton recipe. I love these shrimp wontons because they include my favorite protein, shrimp.

Shrimp is such a versatile choice for many recipes, and I especially enjoy how they taste in these wontons.


Delicious Shrimp Wontons

Close up of delicious shrimp wontons, super easy recipe.

I rummaged through my fridge today and found some leftover wonton skins and whipped up these wontons with dipping sauces: ginger vinegar sauce. They were simply delicious.

I love steamed wontons because it makes them extremely juicy, and you can really taste the filling.


Changing Steamed Wontons To Baked Or Fried

If you would like to change the shrimp wontons to the popular baked version, you can fold these wontons into triangles and bake them at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for around 5-7 minutes on a baking sheet.

You can go ahead and deep fry these wontons too for around 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn them, because they fry super fast!

    OMG There were the easiest and tastiest wontons . I think they are even better than the restaurants. My only issue was they stuck a little to the bottom of steamer and ripped as I gently tried to remove them, causing the fillingt to fall out. :( Nontheless, I will definitely continue to make them!

    1. Wendy says:

      Lining your steamer with cabbage or lettuce leaves might help your wontons to not stick.

    We made these last night! We chose to fry them and the filling was sooooo good. We were utilizing some leftover shrimp so we did not make the full recipe but I very much wish we had. It’s definitely going to be a new staple in the house.

  5. Tillie says:

    These were great! The dipping sauce was outrageous! Next time Iโ€™ll add more scallions to the mix..but we thoroughly enjoyed them.

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      Awesome!

  6. Marina says:

    I would like to make these in a few days and live the way you wrapped the wonton in this photo. I plan on steaming mine. Could you explain a bit as to how you closed it? Just a bit of egg wash at the top and twist and pinch it closed? Thank you!

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      Yes.

  7. Tiffany says:

    Can extra wontons be frozen after made. And do I need to thaw before cooking?

    1. Rasa Malaysia says:

      Yes, you can freeze these shrimp wontons.

    2. Mafeesh Moushkella says:

      You can cook from frozen, if deep frying just cook for an extra minute or two

    3. Laura says:

      Hi. I also want to freeze these. Should I cook them and then freeze or freeze them before cooking? TY!

  8. Katy says:
