Southwestern Won Tons

I know, I know it's been forever since I posted, but I am getting back into the food blogging-sphere. Cooking is something I love to do and I have not stopped, I just needed a little time to focus on some more pressing things. I have finally found a balance and am making an effort to put some food and photography into my life. That being said, let's make some food!




Southwestern Won Tons




1 Package Won Ton Wrappers
4-5 white mushrooms chopped very fine
2 cups small shrimp, cooked
6 green onions chopped
2 ears of corn
4 oz cream cheese
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1 egg beaten
2 tbs butter




1. Slice kernals off of corn. Add corn, green onions, mushrooms and butter to pan and sautee until liquid evaporates. Chop shrimp super fine and add to pan. Once shrimp is heated, remove pan from heat.

2. Place cream cheese and parmesan cheese in a medium sizxed mixing bowl. Add warm corn mixture to the bowl and mix until cream cheese is evenly distributed. There should be no lumps (adding the corn mixutre while still warm will heat up the cream cheese and make it easier to mix). Allow mixture to cool before assembling won tons.

3. To assemble won tons, place one wrapper on a clean dry surface. Add a small spoonful of mixture to the center of the won ton wrapper. Brush a small strip of beaten egg around all edges of the won ton wrapper. Fold all corners up to meet at the top and close the won ton. Make sure all edges are completely sealed, if any edges are gaping they will open during frying, which will destroy the won ton. Repeat with remaining wrappers and mixture until mixture is gone. You will probably have leftover wrappers.

4. Once won tons are all assembled you can begin frying. Add won tons, placing right side up, a few at a time to deep fryer. Once they are browned on all sides, remove from oil. Continue until all wont tons are cooked.

5. Enjoy won tons with you favorite dipping sauce! Personally, I like them with avocado ranch.
