You’re a Visionary

A festive twist on tradition, these wontons get tied to look like little coin pouches. They’re full of juicy and tender shrimp, all wrapped up and ready to elevate your next Lunar New Year party.

How to Pick Wonton Wrappers

Often wonton or square dumpling wrappers are found in the refrigerated aisle near the tofu or fresh noodle shelves at your local grocery store. If you cannot find the yellow ones, green will also do.

Ingredient Swaps

If you cannot eat shrimp, ground pork will work as well.

Stovetop Instructions

Bring a medium pot filled ¾ full of water to a simmer. Add the wontons, making sure not to overcrowd the pot. Let wontons float to the top and cook for 2 more minutes. DO NOT let the water boil aggressively. This will cause the wontons to come apart and deteriorate in the pot. 

Nutrition Information

These dumplings feature shrimp, offering a delightful seafood twist! With just 3 ounces of cooked shrimp containing under 100 calories and nearly 20 grams of protein, they’re a nutritious choice. For those focusing on weight management in the new year, research has shown that increasing protein portions during caloric restriction may improve diet quality and reduce the loss of lean body mass.
