Mango Salsa Baked Shrimp Cups
Create a delicious and easy appetizer by preparing mango salsa baked shrimp cups. Begin by baking wonton wrappers in a muffin pan until golden and crisp. Then, fill each cup with succulent garlic butter shrimp, adding a burst of flavor. Top off the ensemble with zesty mango salsa for a delightful combination of sweet and savory in every bite.
Mango Salsa and Shrimp Wonton Cups Ingredients
Mango salsa complements fish and shrimp in dishes ranging from tacos to salads. These wonton cups resemble miniature crispy taco salad bowls. I fill these petite bowls with lettuce, avocado, garlic shrimp, and top them off with mango salsa. If you’re curious about the history of mango salsa, you can find more information in the post on jocooks.com.
Preparation of Wonton Cups
Mini muffin pans gives more depth with one wonton layer. However, if the mini muffin pan is not available, double layers for regular pans. Alternate square and diamond layers. Make sure to oil pan and wrapper and avoid air bubbles to ensure crispiness. For the regular size pan, see the picture below.
