Thai Shrimp Wonton Cups: Easy Appetizer Recipe

Ingredients

• 24 wonton wrappers
• 1.5 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
• 8 ounces frozen medium shrimp - thawed, shelled, and deveined
• 0.5 lime lime
• 7.5 ounces chive-and-onion cream cheese spread
• 0.25 cup Thai sweet chili sauce
• 1 green onion, chopped

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. Carefully place a wonton wrapper into each muffin cup, pressing it gently against the bottom and up the sides.
3. Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven until golden brown. Remove and let the wonton cups cool completely in the muffin tin.
4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté garlic and ginger until fragrant, then add shrimp and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, or until pink and cooked through.
5. In a bowl, combine cream cheese with the juice of half a lime; mix until smooth. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture into each cooled wonton cup.
6. Garnish each cup with 1/2 teaspoon of Thai sweet chili sauce, one cooked shrimp, and a sprinkle of fresh green onion.
