Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 24 wonton wrappers
- 1/2 pound shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin.
- Press one wonton wrapper into each muffin cup, forming a small cup. Bake for 5 minutes until lightly golden, then set aside.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add chopped shrimp, salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook until shrimp is pink and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a bowl, combine cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, green onions, and cooked shrimp mixture. Mix well until evenly combined.
- Spoon the shrimp mixture into each wonton cup, filling to the top.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the filling is hot and bubbly and the edges are crispy.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

You can customize the seasonings to taste. For extra spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or sriracha to the filling.
