Firecracker Fried Shrimp and Dip

Spotted a photograph on Flickr and there was no recipe link but the photograph gave me enough to try and recreate the dish on my own. A spectacular display of shrimp wrapped in wonton skins fried to a golden brown with a spicy dipping sauce to go along side. This is one fabulous appetizer.

I used about 14 shrimp split in half for a total of 28 of these bad boys. The shrimp was cooked perfectly; they were well seasoned and had that nice crunch from the fried wonton wrapper. A perfect appetizer to add to any of your events. As long as you blot them well to get out excess oil, you could probably make these just before guests are to arrive, keep them warm in a low oven or when they arrive pop them back into a hot oven (350 °) for a couple of minutes or so to warm them up.
