Ingredients |
|
1 tablespoon |
olive oil |
1 |
onion, finely diced |
1 tablespoon |
garlic, finely minced |
3 tablespoons |
ginger, freshly grated |
1/2 pound |
shrimp, peeled, finely chopped |
3 canned |
water chestnuts, drained, finely chopped |
1/2 pound |
lean gator meat, ground |
1/2 cup |
scallions, chopped |
1 tablespoon |
oyster sauce |
2 teaspoons |
low sodium soy sauce |
1 tablespoon |
rice wine or dry sherry |
2 teaspoons |
salt |
1 teaspoon |
white pepper |
1 package |
prepared wonton wrappers (12) |
|
canola oil for frying |

Preparation
Heat olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat then add onion, garlic and ginger; sauté until translucent and set aside to cool. When cool, combine onion mixture, chopped shrimp, water chestnuts and remaining ingredients (except wonton skins) in a large bowl mixing well. To assemble, lay one wrapper on a cutting board and moisten all edges of the wrapper with water. Place a tablespoon of wonton filling in the center of wrapper and fold in half diagonally over filling. Make sure the edges meet and press edges down firmly to seal. Press down on filling to flatten slightly; repeat with remaining wontons. In a deep-fryer, heat canola oil to 375 degrees F. Fry wontons in small batches for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown, turning occasionally. Remove with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately with Orange Ginger Sauce.
