Spicy Shrimp Wonton Cups

I absolutely love appetizers during the big game and while I could indulge on them all night, I love to have some light, healthier options as well so I don’t feel so weighed down after all that snacking! These spicy shrimp wonton cups fit the bill and if I’m being honest, I totally eat them for dinner too! They’re filled with fresh ingredients like Avocados From Mexico and sweet corn that pair perfectly with a spicy sauteed shrimp perched on top of a crispy, baked wonton cup.

I love pairing a touch of spice with fresh ingredients. In this recipe, I pair shrimp seasoned with TABASCO® Sauce with one of my favorite fresh ingredients, Avocados From Mexico. We ALWAYS have Avocados From Mexico in our house and eat guacamole on a daily basis. We have found SO MANY fun ways to infuse our love for avocados in our favorite foods. We add Avocados From Mexico to everything from our breakfast egg sandwich to sheet pan nachos and hamburgers. They add the flavor we love and enhance so many different dishes. They are so versatile and delicious.

I was shocked to find out that TABASCO® Sauce ingredients are marinated for three years in wood barrels before the sauce is bottled! That’s incredible. Who knew? It is made from vine-ripened, red jalapeño peppers over a pecan wood fire and makes a perfect addition to the Big Game food spread. TABASCO® Sauce is made with 3 simple ingredients: tabasco peppers, a small amount of salt and high-quality vinegar. That’s why I added it to BOTH the shrimp and the Avocados From Mexico mixture. It’s a simple addition to the dish and it delivers big flavor.

Begin by greasing a mini muffin tray and pressing wonton wrappers into each muffin cavity. Be careful to press it in and leave an opening for the stuffing. Bake wonton wraps for 10 minutes at 350 or until browned.

While wonton wraps are baking begin making the black bean and corn guacamole. You’ll need 2-3 Avocados From Mexico. Cut them in half and remove the pit. Then, while they are still in the skin, use a knife to cut them into chunks as shown above. Then use a spoon and scoop them out into a bowl.

Add 1 diced Roma tomato, half a diced purple onion, 1/2 cup of corn cut off the cob, 1/4 cup black beans (rinsed), handful of cilantro (chopped), 1/4 teaspoon of salt and the juice of one lime to a bowl.

Toss the shrimp in a bowl with TABASCO® Sauce, olive oil, chili powder, garlic, salt and black pepper. Toss to coat and then allow them to sit and marinate while you heat up a saute pan over medium-high heat.

Cook the shrimp in a saute pan over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes per side, until shrimp turn pink and are no longer translucent. Remove from heat.

Serve immediately, although these are just as tasty cold as they are warm! These will make the perfect appetizer for the big game! They are one of those things you can just grab and pop in your mouth and don’t need a plate for. I suggest using shrimp with the tails removed for easy, mess-free eating!
