  • As soon as the broth comes to a boil, reduce heat to simmer. Check the broth for seasoning at this point. Drop wontons in gently.
  • The wontons cook for about 5 minutes, so after 1 or 2 minutes, add the shrimp, snow peas and bok choy. Let cook just until shrimp are pink and vegetables are cooked, about 3-4 minutes. When the wontons are done, they will float to the surface.
