  3. Fill the Wontons: Place a spoonful of the shrimp mixture on a wonton wrapper, brush egg along edges, fold and seal tightly.
  4. Fry the Wontons: Gently add wontons to hot oil in small batches, frying for 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Drain and Serve: Remove fried wontons and place on paper towels. Serve with dipping sauces.
