Chili Lime Spicy Shrimp Cups - Easy Appetizer Recipe
Ingredients
- 24 Wonton Wrapper
- 24 Medium Shrimp devein, peeled, I used frozen
- 2 Limes
- 1/2 Cup Arugula
- 3-4 TBS Sour Cream
- 2 TBS Butter melted
- 1 TBS Olive Oil
- 1/2 TSP Salt
- 1 TSP Chili or Cayenne
Instructions
-
Let's start the spicy shrimp cups by preheating the oven to *350.
-
Take 2 wonton wrappers and brush with a bit of melted butter. Arrange them in muffin pan cup so they form a 'cup'. Do the same with the rest of the wontons. You'll fill 12 cups.
-
Adjust recipe accordingly to make more.
-
Bake for 5 minutes. The edges will be a nice golden brown. (see above)
-
While those are baking, grab a medium bowl.
-
We're going to make spicy shrimp! Put shrimp, olive oil, salt and chili in. Give it a good toss to thoroughly coat all shrimp.
-
Bake these on a cookie sheet for about 6-8 minutes until completely cooked.
-
Now, we just need to assemble them. Fill each wonton cup with a dollop of sour cream, a couple leaves of arugula, 2 shrimp and squeeze some fresh lime juice over the top.
These are great served hot or cold! They will also keep for a day or so in a sealed container in the ‘fridge.
See, I told you! Way better than tiny hot dogs on toothpicks, right?? Now, take these spicy shrimp cups outside to your peeps, grab yourself a cocktail and go enjoy that party!
