Ingredients:
8 egg roll wrappers, cut into strips
Peanut oil
Kosher salt to taste
1 tbs. minced garlic
1 tbs. sesame seeds, toasted
1 tsp. kosher salt
1 tsp. black pepper
1 tsp. red pepper flakes
20 large shrimp (1 lb.), peeled and deveined, tails left on
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup juice from a jar (or can) of mangos
Juice of 1/2 lime
1 cup chopped, jarred (or canned) mangos
1 cup 1-inch sliced scallions

Instructions:
1. Fry egg roll wrapper strips in 1-inch peanut oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat to make wonton strips. Cook the strips in batches until they are light brown and crisp, about 1 minute. Transfer wonton strips to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt; fry remaining strips. Pour off all but three tablespoons of oil.

2. Combine garlic, sesame seeds, 1 tsp salt, pepper, and pepper flakes in a dish.

3. Rinse and then dry the shrimp well. Toss the shrimp with cornstarch and let them stand for a while. Stir-fry shrimp in the three tablespoons of oil in the skillet over medium-high heat 2-3 minutes per side. Stir garlic mixture into shrimp and cook 1 minute.

4. Add mango juice and lime juice; bring to a simmer. Stir in the mango and scallions, cooking just until the mango is warmed through. To serve, divide wonton strips between four plates; top each with mango mixture and 5 shrimp.
