Ingredients for Japanese Shrimp Purses

The star of this dish is, of course, the shrimp. Make sure to use fresh and high-quality shrimp for the best results. Look for medium-sized shrimp, around 20-25 pieces per pound, and leave the tails on for an elegant presentation.
2. Wonton Wrappers
Wonton wrappers are thin sheets of dough made from flour, egg, and water. These are easily found in the refrigerated section of most grocery stores. If you can't find them, you can also use gyoza wrappers or make your own from scratch.
3. Vegetables
To add flavor and texture to our shrimp purses, we will use a variety of vegetables. These include thinly sliced carrots, shiitake mushrooms, and green onions. You can also add other veggies such as cabbage, bell peppers, or water chestnuts for a more colorful and flavorful filling.
4. Seasonings
The key to delicious shrimp purses is in the seasoning. We will use a combination of soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sesame oil to give our purses a rich and savory taste. Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings to your liking.
Instructions for Japanese Shrimp Purses
1. Prep the Shrimp
Start by peeling and deveining the shrimp, leaving the tails on. Make sure to pat them dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture.
2. Make the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced vegetables with the seasonings and mix well. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
3. Assemble the Shrimp Purses
Take a wonton wrapper and place a spoonful of the filling in the center. Place one shrimp on top of the filling, with the tail sticking out. Wet the edges of the wrapper with water and fold it over the filling, pressing the edges to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
4. Cook the Shrimp Purses
In a large pan, heat some oil over medium-high heat. Place the shrimp purses in the pan, seam side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Flip them over and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the other side is also golden brown.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Remove the shrimp purses from the pan and place them on a serving plate. Garnish with some sesame seeds and green onions for an extra pop of color. Serve hot and enjoy the delicious flavors of Japan in every bite.
