Finely chop the reserved 1 tablespoon of green onions and mushrooms.

Lightly moisten the edges of the wonton wrappers with water using your finger or a pastry brush. Fold one corner of the wrapper over the filling to meet the opposite corner, forming a triangle. Press the edges firmly to seal. Moisten the two long ends of the triangle, bring them together, and press firmly to seal. (Assembly time: 30 minutes)

Gently drop the wontons, one by one, into the boiling broth, allowing them to cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Reduce the heat to a simmer, then carefully stir in the shrimp, bok choy, and the reserved sliced mushrooms. Let the soup simmer for an additional 2 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink. Gently add the snow peas. (Cook time: 10 minutes)
