💡 Pro Tips
- ✓Maintain oil temperature at 350-375°F for frying because lower temps create soggy wrappers while higher temps burn the dough before the shrimp cooks through.technique350-375°F
- ✓Pat shrimp completely dry before marinating and limit marinating to 15-20 minutes maximum - longer breaks down proteins and creates mushy texture.timing15-20 minutes
- ✓Brush wonton wrapper edges with cornstarch slurry (1:1 cornstarch to water) instead of plain water for a seal that won't burst during frying.technique1:1 ratio
- ✓Reduce sweet and sour sauce to exactly 75% of original volume - this concentrates flavors while maintaining proper viscosity for coating without being too thick.timing75% reduction
- ✓Use medium-large shrimp (31-40 count) because smaller shrimp overcook in the time needed to crisp the wrapper, while larger ones stay raw inside.ingredient31-40 count
