Wonton Shells
- Grease a 9x13 pan. Lay the wonton skins over the sides of the baking pan in a single layer (do not overlap) on a diagonal. Spray lightly with cooking spray (or brush lightly with a bit of olive oil) and bake for 3-4 minutes just until the edges begin to brown (you don't want them too crispy or they will break when you make the tacos).
- Immediately after removing from oven, take the wontons off of the 9x13 pan and open them slightly to make taco "shells".
Shrimp
- In a large pan over medium heat, combine the shrimp and the sweet chili sauce and stir over medium heat for 6-8 minutes until pink and hot. Remove from heat.
- Fill each wonton taco shell with some slaw, shrimp, and diced mango. Top with chopped cilantro and serve.
Notes
- You can find wonton skins in the cold/asian section of most grocery stores. They are usually found near the tofu.
- Sweet chili sauce can be found in the Asian section of most grocery stores. You can also make your own if you prefer!
- Recipe makes 12 small tacos to be served as appetizer for 6 (2 each) or main dish for 2 or 3 people.
