Ingredients

• 12 wonton wrappers

• 1 lb cooked shrimp, peeled and chopped

• 2 tbsp mayonnaise

• 1 tbsp wasabi paste (adjust to your spice preference)

• 1 tbsp soy sauce

• 1 tsp sesame oil

• 1 cup sushi rice, cooked and seasoned with rice vinegar, sugar, and salt

• 1 avocado, diced

• 1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)

• 1-2 green onions, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• Press the wonton wrappers into the cups of a muffin tin, creating a cup shape. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until golden and crispy. Remove from the muffin tin and set aside to cool.
• In a bowl, mix the chopped shrimp with mayonnaise, wasabi paste, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Adjust the wasabi to your spice preference.
• Gently fold in the cooked sushi rice and diced avocado, mixing well.
• Spoon the shrimp and rice mixture into each baked wonton cup, filling them generously.
• Sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish, if desired.
• Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

• If you prefer milder heat, reduce the amount of wasabi paste or omit it entirely.
• You can also add pickled ginger or a dash of sriracha for extra flavor.
• If you don’t have wonton wrappers, you can substitute with tortilla chips or small pastry cups
