Crawfish Won Ton
Yield 30 - 40 Pieces

Ingredients
1/2 LB CRAWFISH TAILS
1 - 8 OZ CAN WATER CHESTNUTS (SLICED & DRAINED)
MARINADE
1 TSP GROUND GINGER
1 TSP MUSHROOM SOY SAUCE
1/4 TSP CAYENNE PEPPER
1/2 TSP GRANULATED GARLIC
1 DASH SESAME SEED OIL
2 TBSP SAKE

1 PACKAGE WON TON WRAPPERS
4 QUARTS PEANUT OIL

Method
Marinate crawfish tails and water chestnuts in a stainless steel bowl for a 10 minutes.
In the center of each won ton place a crawfish or two and a slice of water chestnut. Moisten the edges of the won ton wrapper and twist or fold the won tons into bundles, sealing the “goodies” inside. Place the uncooked bundles on a large platter, do not allow the won tons to touch each other as they will stick together and rip apart when separated.
Use a large Dutch oven, add oil and heat to 350F, use a thermometer to maintain proper frying temperature. Fry the won tons until golden brown (about 2- 3 minutes). Remove and allow to drain of all oil, reserve warm.

Alternate Method
Scallops and/or shrimp may be substituted for crawfish.

Plate Presentation
In a large platter arrange small shallow bowls of yellow Chinese mustard, teriyaki sauce, wasabi (green horse radish) sauce and sweet and sour sauce; place the hot won tons around the bowls of sauces . Garnish with cut shallot flowers and serve immediately.
