Follow The Directions
01
Step
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Generously spray a 24-cup mini muffin tin with cooking spray. (2 minutes)
02
Step
Gently press one wonton wrapper into each muffin cup, ensuring it lines the bottom and sides. (5 minutes)
03
Step
Bake in the preheated oven until the wonton wrappers are golden brown and crispy. (10 minutes)
04
Step
Remove from oven and let cool completely in the muffin tin. This will help them retain their shape. (15 minutes)
05
Step
While the wontons are baking, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger; sauté until fragrant. (2 minutes)
06
Step
Add shrimp to the skillet and cook until pink and opaque, flipping halfway through. (5-7 minutes)
07
Step
In a bowl, zest half of the lime and squeeze the juice into the chive-and-onion cream cheese. Mix well until smooth and creamy. (3 minutes)
08
Step
Once the wonton cups are cooled, fill each with about 1 teaspoon of the lime-infused cream cheese mixture. (5 minutes)
09
Step
Top each cup with a few cooked shrimp and a generous drizzle of Thai sweet chili sauce. Garnish with thinly sliced green onions. (5 minutes)
10
Step
Serve immediately and watch them disappear!
For best results, use fresh, high-quality shrimp.
Adjust the amount of Thai sweet chili sauce according to your preference for sweetness and spice.
Feel free to experiment with other toppings, such as sesame seeds or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes.
The wonton cups can be baked ahead of time and stored in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to assemble.

Jun 30, 2025The wonton wrappers got a little too brown in my oven. Next time, I'll try baking them for a shorter amount of time.

Jun 29, 2025I found that using a non-stick muffin tin helped the wontons release easily after baking.
