Chipotle Shrimp Cups

This quick appetizer gets smoke and savor from commercial salsa. And it's made all the easier by baking purchased wonton wrappers in mini muffin tins instead of preparing a homemade pastry. You can make all the components the night before (store filling in the refrigerator and cups at room temperature), then heat the assembled cups in the oven just before serving.

Yield: 3 dozen (serving size: 2 filled wonton cups)

Ingredients

• 36  wonton wrappers
• Cooking spray
• 1 1/2  cups  (6 ounces) shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
• 1  cup  chopped cooked shrimp
• 1  cup  chopped bottled roasted red bell peppers
• 1  cup  bottled chipotle salsa
• 1/2  cup  chopped green onions

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350º.

Fit 1 wonton wrapper into each of 36 mini muffin cups coated with cooking spray, pressing the wrappers into sides of cups. Bake at 350º for 7 minutes or until lightly browned. Keep wontons in muffin cups.

Combine cheese and remaining ingredients, and spoon about 1 tablespoon cheese mixture into each wonton cup. Bake at 350º for 6 minutes or until cheese melts. Remove from muffin cups. Serve immediately.
