Shrimp Wonton Cups with Chipotle Mayo
These Shrimp Wonton Cups are the kind of appetizer that looks impressive with crispy baked wontons, juicy shrimp, and a smoky chipotle mayo that brings just the right amount of heat.
Ingredients
- 12 wonton wrappers
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 tablespoon chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon honey
- fresh cilantro chopped, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin pan.
- Press the wontons into the wells of the pan so they have a flat bottom. Spray or brush each with cooking oil. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden and crispy. Remove and let cool.
- In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (more or less to suit your level of spiciness), lime juice, and honey. Taste and adjust seasoning. Set aside.
- Season the shrimp with salt, pepper, and chili powder. Heat a skillet over medium high heat and add the cooking oil. When hot add the shrimp and cook 2-3 minutes per side until opaque and cooked through. Remove from the skillet.
- To assemble, put a small dab of sauce into the bottom of the the cooled wonton cups. Fill with 2-3 shrimp, another drizzle of sauce and some chopped cilantro.
