These coconut shrimp wonton cups are the perfect baked alternative to fried coconut shrimp. We love this quick and easy appetizer!

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 365 degrees F.
- If using frozen shrimp, defrost before using.
- Spritz a mini muffin pan with olive oil and line with wonton wrappers to create cups [see photo below]. Set aside.
- In a small pan over medium-high heat, sauté your shrimp in melted butter, adding minced garlic towards the end to prevent burning.
- While the shrimp cook, heat up another small pan and toast your coconut and panko. It should turn golden rather quickly so keep an eye on it. This only takes a minute or two.
- The shrimp will be done in just a few minutes, when they begin curl and turn opaque. Then they're ready for the oven!
- Place two shrimp at the bottom of each wonton cup and then top with the sauteed panko/coconut/parsley mixture. If preferred, you can also toss everything together in the pan with the shrimp and then spoon the mixture in all at once.
- Spritz a teeny bit more olive oil on top of each cup and bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
- You'll want to immediately stuff you face, let them cool a little so you don't burn the roof of your mouth, which is exactly what I always do. Whoops! Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley (optional but the color pop rocks my world) and serve with sweet chili sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
Notes
- Looking for won-ton wrappers at your local grocery store? They're located in the chilled section near the bagged salads and tofu.
- Using medium shrimp? You should be able to fit 3 in each won-ton cup so feel free to use 30 medium shrimp instead of 20 large. you can add a little extra garlic too as desired.
