Directions

BAKE WONTON CUPS

1Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C).

 

2Lightly brush the wonton wrappers on both sides with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Then, lightly season one side of each wrapper with salt.

 

3Using a mini muffin pan, press the wonton wrappers down into the cups, laying back the corners and pressing the bottoms down to make a defined cup. Bake until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool.

 

MAKE SHRIMP CUPS

1While the wontons bake in the oven, prepare the lime sour cream and shrimp.

 

2Zest the lime using a Microplane. Add the zest to a medium bowl with the shrimp, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Toss well.

 

3Spread the shrimp onto a baking sheet and bake until firm and opaque, 8 to 12 minutes.

 

4Make the lime sour cream in a small bowl by stirring 1 teaspoon of lime juice and a pinch of salt into the sour cream.

 

5To assemble, fill the cooled wonton cups with a few leaves of arugula, a small blob of lime sour cream, and a shrimp. Serve with lime wedges for spritzing on top.
