Description

Wonton cup appetizers with shrimp, Thai sweet chili sauce, and lime-chive-onion cream cheese are tasty, fancy, and easy to make.

• 24 wonton wrappers

• 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

• 1 clove garlic, minced

• 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger

• 8 ounces frozen medium shrimp - thawed, shelled, and deveined

• 1/2 lime

• 7 1/2 ounces chive-and-onion cream cheese spread

• 1/4 cup Thai sweet chili sauce

• 1 green onion, chopped

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 24-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray.

2 Gently press a wonton wrapper into the bottom and up the sides of each prepared muffin cup.

3 Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pans.

4 Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Add garlic, ginger, and shrimp. Cook until shrimp is pink on both sides, 5 to 7 minutes.

5 Squeeze lime half into cream cheese in a bowl; stir to combine. Divide mixture evenly among cooled wonton cups, about 1 teaspoon each.

6 Top cream cheese mixture with 1/2 teaspoon Thai sweet chili sauce and one shrimp; sprinkle with chopped green onion.
