Shrimp Won Tons are fabulous! Homemade won tons are so much better tasting than purchased one, plus they are so very easy to make. I consider a steaming bowl of won tons welcome in any time of the year, plus making them at home is an easy process. They taste like a restaurant treat, but they are quick and easy to make at home. These homemade Won Tons will definitely impress your family and guests and be a crowd pleaser.

Moisten edges with water. Fold wrapper diagonally over filling to form a triangle. Firmly press to seal sides. Place on baking sheet.
