Easy Weeknight Appetizer

For Book Club on Thursday evening I needed a warm appetizer I could make right when I got home from work in that 30 minute window before people arrived. I came across an appetizer using wonton wrappers and figured it was unique and might work well for the group.

Salsa Shrimp Cups

Ingredients

• 36  wonton wrappers
• Cooking spray
• 1 1/2  cups  (6 ounces) shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
• 1  cup  chopped cooked shrimp
• 1  cup  chopped bottled roasted red bell peppers
• 1  cup  bottled salsa

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350º.
• Fit 1 wonton wrapper into each of 36 mini muffin cups coated with cooking spray, pressing the wrappers into sides of cups. Bake at 350º for 7-9 minutes or until lightly browned. Keep wontons in muffin cups.
• Combine cheese and remaining ingredients, and spoon about 1 tablespoon cheese mixture into each wonton cup. Bake at 350º for 6 minutes or until cheese melts. Remove from muffin cups. Serve immediately.

This is a great appetizer for a large group and fish eating vegetarian friendly. I used the Pace salsa that I received for the Foodbuzz Tastemaker Program and it added a nice kick to the Shrimp Cups
