A delightful appetizer combining crispy wonton cups, creamy guacamole, and flavorful shrimp.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
Brush both sides of each wonton wrapper with vegetable oil.
Use a light touch to avoid over-saturating the wrappers.
Press each wonton wrapper into a mini muffin pan to form a cup shape.
Ensure the wrappers are pressed firmly to hold their shape.
Bake the wonton cups for 10-12 minutes until golden and crispy.
Keep an eye on them to prevent over-browning.
Halve the avocados, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a bowl.
Use a spoon to easily scoop out the avocado.
Mash the avocado with a fork to your desired consistency.
Leave some chunks for a more textured guacamole.
Mix in lime juice, chopped cherry tomatoes, cilantro, scallion, and salt.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Combine shrimp with olive oil, minced garlic, Cajun seasoning, and black pepper.
Ensure the shrimp are evenly coated with the seasoning.
Bake the shrimp on a baking sheet at 400°F (200°C) for 6-7 minutes until cooked through.
Shrimp are done when they turn pink and opaque.
Fill each wonton cup with a spoonful of guacamole and top with a shrimp.
Assemble just before serving to keep the cups crispy.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious bites!
Garnish with extra cilantro for a fresh touch.
