wonton shrimp appetizer
Ingredients
- 12 wonton wrappers
- 14 medium raw shrimp peeled, deveined, and chopped
- 4 oz cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1-2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 2 green onions finely sliced
- 1/4 teaspoon old bay seasoning more if desired
- add a few drops of hot sauce or sriracha if you like it spicy
garnish
- sprinkle of paprika on top after baked
- fresh parsley finely chopped
Instructions
- Heat a medium skillet and add chopped shrimp, butter, and garlic. Cook until shrimp is opaque.
- In a mini muffin tin, place a wonton wrapper in each compartment, use a spoon or pastry tamper to press the center of the wonton wrapper down so the sides fold slightly toward each other creating a well for the filling.
- In a medium bowl, mix the cooked shrimp with cream cheese, lemon juice, green onions, and old bay seasoning (add hot sauce if you want a kick of spice)
- Place 1-2 tablespoons of filling into the center of each wonton wrapper.
- Spray the wontons with an oil spray or brush them lightly with a silicone brush and oil so they crisp nice and become golden brown when baked.
- Bake for 10 minutes or until well heated and golden brown on the edges. Remove from the baking tin and serve with paprika sprinkled on top and chopped parsley.
- The wontons can be baked first without the filling if you want them crispier. Link in post for steps an options for wonton baking, frying, making closed wontons, and more tips.
