Begin by patting your shrimp dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

In a mixing bowl, combine the dried shrimp with your desired seasonings, and add cream cheese if using.

Take a wonton wrapper and place a spoonful of the shrimp mixture in the center, moistening edges to seal.

In a skillet, heat oil to around 350°F (175°C) over medium-high heat.

Add the wonton shrimp to the hot oil, frying for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.

Remove shrimp from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain on a wire rack.
