Directions

1. In a food processor or blender, combine the shrimp and eggs and process until almost smooth. Add the butter and toasted sesame oil, season with salt and white pepper, and pulse until the butter is incorporated. Transfer to a bowl.

2. Hold one wonton wrapper in the palm of your hand. Cup your hand and place one tablespoon of the shrimp mousse in the center of the wrapper. Sprinkle with a few scallions and sesame seeds. Bring the wrapper up around the filling, pressing it to adhere to the filling and pleating as you go. There will be 6 to 8 pleats and the filling will be exposed. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.

3. Coat the bottom of a large non-stick or cast iron pan with olive oil and heat over medium-high heat.

4. Place wontons in the pan with the open side down, pressing gently with your fingers or a spatula to flatten slightly. Pan fry until edges start to turn golden, about one to two minutes, flip and fry the other side until golden brown. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel and cook remaining wontons.

5. Sprinkle with the reserved scallion greens and serve.
