Ingredients
  

Wonton Cups:
  • 10 wonton wrappers
  • 1 tbsp melted butter or neutral oil for brushing
Shrimp Salad:
  • 1 cup cooked shrimp chopped, plus a few small shrimp pieces for topping if desired
  • 3 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar or fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp sriracha optional
  • 1 green onion finely chopped
  • salt and black pepper to taste
Garnish:
  • chopped chives or green onion for garnish

Method
 

Prepare the Wonton Cups:
  1. Heat oven to 375°F. Lightly brush both sides of the wonton wrappers with melted butter or oil.
  2. Press each wonton wrapper into a muffin tin cup, gently folding the corners so they stand up like little cups. Do not press too hard so the bottoms do not tear.
  3. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the wonton cups are golden and crisp around the edges. Let them cool completely before filling.
Make the Shrimp Salad:
  1. In a bowl, mix the chopped cooked shrimp, mayonnaise, sour cream or Greek yogurt, rice vinegar or lemon juice, sesame oil, garlic powder, sriracha if using, green onion, salt, and black pepper.
Fill and Serve:
  1. Spoon the shrimp salad into the cooled wonton cups just before serving. Add a small shrimp piece on top of each cup if desired.
  2. Sprinkle with chopped chives or green onion and serve right away while the wonton cups are still crisp.
