Prep Time: 25 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Total Time: 35 minutes

Yield: 2-3 servings

• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 3 Tbsp Sriracha sauce
• 1 Tbsp brown sugar
• 2 Tbsp rice vinegar
• 1/2 pack wonton wrappers

• oil for frying

Steps:

1. In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, Sriracha, brown sugar, and rice vinegar.

 
2. Cut a small stack of wonton wrappers into thin strips. Place the rest under a damp paper towel so they don't dry out.

 
3. Get your workstation ready with a bowl of water, the wonton strips, and shrimp.

4. Working with one shrimp at a time, dampen and wrap with wonton strips from the tail end up. They should look like little mummies. Place each wrapped shrimp under a damp paper towel as you work on the rest.

 
5. Heat cooking oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Cook both sides until browned, about 3 minutes per shrimp in total. Work in batches as not to overcrowd the pan.

 
6. Drain shrimp on a paper towel.
