Ingredients

The following ingredients have 14 Servings
  • 8 large shrimp or 12 medium shrimp ((raw, thawed, and peeled))
  • 1 clove garlic (smashed and minced)
  • 1 tsp butter or oil for sautéing (plus extra as needed)
  • 3 TBSP cream cheese
  • 2 TBSP crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (plus extra to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 TBSP chopped fresh chives or scallions
  • 14 won-ton wrappers
  • cooking spray (as needed)
  • 2-4 TBSP sweet chili sauce for dipping

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Sauté shrimp in either 1 tsp of olive oil or butter; totally up to you! Add garlic in towards the end and cook until shrimp are opaque and garlic is fragrant.
  • Once shrimp are fully cooked, transfer to a cutting board (along with garlic) and mince into very small pieces.
  • In a small bowl combine cheeses, chives, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and salt. Add your shrimp and garlic mixture and mix well.
  • To prep the wonton wrappers, lay the squares out on a flat surface.
  • Add a heaping teaspoon of the shrimp mixture to the center of each wonton.
  • Fill a small cup/bowl with water and set aside. Working one at a time, moisten fingers with water. Run your finger along two sides of the wrapper to moisten, and fold into a triangle.
  • Pick up each triangle and press along both sides to seal. The water should act like a glue and help you press the edges into little pouches.
  • Seal em up super tight and pop them on a wire rack atop a baking sheet. See photos in post for a visual. No wire rack? See notes for alternate baking method.
  • Lightly spritz the won-tons with spray oil (I used an avocado oil spray)
  • Bake at 400 F for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Enjoy hot with sweet chili sauce for dunking!
