Citrus Lime Spicy Shrimp Cups Ingredients

Directions for Making this Chili Lime Spicy Shrimp Appetizer Recipe

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.

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 of the 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.
