Ingredients
Wonton Cup Ingredients:
24wonton wrappers
cooking spray*
Shrimp Ingredients:
24medium shrimp, peeled and deveined (1/2 lb. 41/50 shrimp)**
Make Cups: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray two 12-cup standard-muffin tins with cooking spray. Gently press a wonton wrapper into each of the muffin tins (watch the how-to video here). Once in the muffin tins, spray the wonton wrappers with cooking spray. Put in the preheated oven for 6-8 minutes or until they're slightly golden brown. Let cool and serve immediately or store in a sealed baggie.
Cook Shrimp: Toss the shrimp with the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder and salt until they are well coated. Heat 1-2 Tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp to the hot pan (they should sizzle!) and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until cooked through.
Prep Ingredients: Toss the shredded red cabbage in the lime juice and set aside. In a small bowl, smash the avocados with a pinch of salt and set aside.
Assemble: Evenly distribute the smashed avocado and shredded cabbage into each wonton cup. Top each cup with a shrimp. Serve immediately with lime wedges (optional) and chipotle aioli (optional).
Notes
*If you don't have cooking spray, a very thin/light coating of olive oil will do the trick!**For one shrimp per wonton cup you will want to get medium to medium/large shrimp. Look for packages that say 41/50 or 36/40. This means there will be 41-50 shrimp per pound or 36-40 shrimp per pound.
