Light Tex Mex Shrimp Bites Recipe
Description
The Light Tex Mex Shrimp Bites Recipe begins by baking wonton wrappers in mini muffin cups until crisp and golden at the edges. In the meantime, shrimp are tossed with olive oil, salt, chili powder, and lime juice, then cooked in a skillet to opaque doneness. Each crispy wonton cup is first layered with creamy guacamole, followed by fresh pico de gallo, and topped with one cooked shrimp. Chopped chives add a mild onion note and a pop of color.
This bite-sized appetizer combines the crunchy texture of the wonton, the richness of avocado, the bright acidity of pico de gallo and lime, and the seasoned shrimp's savory heat. It is suitable for serving at parties or light snacks where handheld foods are preferred.
