Ingredients

  • 24 raw, uncooked shrimp shelled and devined
  • 12 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 tablespoon grated white onion
  • 1 tablespoon white granulated sugar powder sugar would work too
  • 24 wonton wrappers
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350ºF.
  • Place 1 wonton wrapper in each of 24 mini muffin pan cups sprayed with cooking spray, extending edges of wrapper over rim of cup. .
  • Bake until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool.
  • Combine cream cheese, sugar, and grated white onion. Stir together the cream cheese mixture until it is well blended. 
  • Scoop a tablespoon into the cooled wonton cup. I like to put the filling into a pastry bag and then pipe the filling into the cooled cups. This is just easier and less messy. {You can also use a Ziplock if you don't have a pasty bag.}
  • Season shrimp with salt and pepper. Cook shrimp with 2 teaspoons of sesame oil. Fry in a pan over medium-high heat until shrimp are thoroughly cooked; bright pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Add one shrimp on top of one cream cheese cup. Top with chopped chives, sweet chile sauce, pepper and any other topping you would like to use. Serve immediately.
