instructions

  • In a medium bowl, stir together shrimp, salt, olive oil, ginger, sugar, rice wine vinegar, 2 teaspoon cornstarch and serrano pepper. Gently fold in chopped avocado.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together 1 Tablespoon cornstarch and 1/4 cup cold water.
  • On a flat clean surface, assemble your wontons. Start with a wonton wrapper so it sits with one corner facing you (like a diamond).
  • Dip your fingertip into the cornstarch water and coat all four edges of the wonton wrapper.
  • Spoon 1 heaping teaspoon of the strip mixture in the center of the wrapper.
  • Fold the wrapper in half, away from you, to form a triangle. Press the edges firmly together. Fold in the left corner over the center, then fold in the right corner on top. Seal with another brush of cornstarch water.
  • Repeat with remaining filling and wonton wrappers.
  • Steam the wontons for approximately 6 to 8 minutes.
  • While the wontons are steaming, stir together the ingredients for the dipping sauce.
  • Serve warm with dipping sauce.
