- 12 wonton wrappers
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 tablespoon chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1/4 teaspoon honey
- fresh cilantro chopped, for garnish
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin pan.
Press the wontons into the wells of the pan so they have a flat bottom. Spray or brush each with cooking oil. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until golden and crispy. Remove and let cool.
In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (more or less to suit your level of spiciness), lime juice, and honey. Taste and adjust seasoning. Set aside.
Season the shrimp with salt, pepper, and chili powder. Heat a skillet over medium high heat and add the cooking oil. When hot add the shrimp and cook 2-3 minutes per side until opaque and cooked through. Remove from the skillet.
To assemble, put a small dab of sauce into the bottom of the the cooled wonton cups. Fill with 2-3 shrimp, another drizzle of sauce and some chopped cilantro.
