Ingredients

🧀 1 block cream cheese
🧀 Generous amount of shredded Parmesan cheese
🌿 Tony Chachere's seasoning (to taste)
🌶️ Paprika (to taste)
🍶 Worcestershire sauce (to taste)
🧄 Minced garlic (to taste)
🌿 Fresh parsley, chopped (to taste)
🍤 Raw shrimp, deveined with tails on
🥟 Wonton skins
🛢️ Cooking oil (for deep-frying)
🌶️ Frank's Red Hot Sweet Chili Sauce (for serving)

Instructions

1- Prepare the Filling:

• In a bowl, combine cream cheese, shredded Parmesan cheese, Tony Chachere's seasoning, paprika, Worcestershire sauce, minced garlic, and chopped parsley.
• Using a fork, mix all the ingredients thoroughly until the cream cheese is smooth and the mixture is well-blended.

2- Stuff the Shrimp:

• Take a piece of raw shrimp (leave the tail on) and fill the cavity with a generous amount of the prepared cheese mixture.

3- Wrap the Wonton:

• Place the stuffed shrimp onto a wonton skin, wrap it securely, and seal the edges with a little water to ensure the filling remains inside while frying.

4- Heat the Oil:

• In a deep frying pan, heat cooking oil over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is sufficiently hot before beginning to fry.

5- Fry the Wontons:

• Carefully place the wrapped wontons into the hot oil, frying them in batches. Fry each side for about 1-2 minutes or until the wontons turn golden brown and crispy.

6- Drain and Serve:

• Once done, remove the wontons from the oil using tongs and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
• Serve the crispy wontons hot, alongside Frank's Red Hot Sweet Chili Sauce for dipping.
