The ultimate party-perfect appetiser with bite-sized crunch + flavour!

Ingredients :

20 small shrimp (peeled, deveined, tail off)
20 wonton wrappers
4 oz cream cheese (softened)
1 garlic clove (minced)
1 tbsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp sesame oil
Salt & pepper, to taste
Olive oil spray or melted butter (for brushing)
Chopped chives or green onions (for garnish)

Method

Prep the Filling Base:

In a bowl, mix cream cheese, garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil, salt, and pepper. This creamy mix is your flavor-packed base for that addictively savory filling.

Assemble the Cups:

Press wonton wrappers into mini muffin tins, forming little cups. Fill each with a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture, then top with one shrimp. It’s cute, compact, and totally craveable!

Brush & Bake:

Lightly brush or spray wrappers with oil or butter. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes until the wonton edges are golden and crispy, and the shrimp is cooked through. This gives that crispy crunch with juicy center we all love.

Garnish & Serve:

Let cool slightly and sprinkle with chopped chives or green onions. These bites are super snackable and absolutely party-ready!

Dip Optional (but encouraged):

Serve with sweet chili sauce, soy ginger glaze, or sriracha mayo for the ultimate dipping experience.
