Steps:

• To make the dip, finely chop the chili, then mix with the honey and soy and stir well: set aside.
• To make the shrimp rolls, finely chop the cilantro and garlic and mix with the curry paste.
• Brush each wonton wrapper with egg whites and place a small dab of the cilantro mixture in the center. Place a shrimp on top and fold over, enclosing the shrimp and leaving the tail exposed. Repeat with the other shrimp.

CHICAGO-STYLE HOT DOGS

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Without splitting them in half completely, gently flatten the hot dog buns and place them seam-side up in the pan. Move them around to catch all the melted butter and cook until very lightly toasted at the edges, 1 to 3 minutes. Remove the buns and set aside.
• Raise the heat to medium-high and add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter to the pan. When the butter is melted, add the hot dogs and cook, rolling occasionally until all sides are browned and looking crispy, 3 to 5 minutes. (See Tip if grilling.)
• Place the cooked dogs in the buns and top each with as much yellow mustard, relish and onion as you like. On one side of each dog, place a couple of tomato slices; on the other side, place a single pickle spear. Top with as many sport peppers as you can handle. Generously season with the celery salt and serve immediately.
