These little wonton cups are delicious and perfect party food!
These Shrimp Wonton Cups are perfect party food. First of all, they taste great! They are also individually portioned, making them easily sharable with a crowd.
Seriously, they're great for parties.
I've made these shrimp wonton cups for holiday celebrations (think: New Year's Eve parties) and sporting events (Super Bowl, anyone?). People have really enjoyed them each and every time.
There's just something about small food that makes it perfect for parties. It's easy to pick up with one hand, and it can be eaten in just a couple of bites.

Don't forget about these Turkey Taco Wonton Cups!
There's also Funfetti Cake Dip, Pimiento Cheese, Jalapeño Popper Dip, Buffalo Chicken Dip, and a Buffalo Ranch Cheese Ball!

The recipe comes from The Pampered Chef. I believe my mom shared it with me, initially.

Are these good served at room temp? Want to take to a 4th picnic.

Hi Susan. While I think they'd be fine if they came to room temperature for a bit, since they're made with seafood and dairy, I wouldn't recommend having them sit out for a long time at a picnic. However, if you baked them, let them cool, and stored them in a cooler or something (keep them right in their little muffin tins) before setting them out, you would probably be safer.

Can these be cooked and then reheated later?

Hi, Jodi. The short answer is "yes". However, I might be worried about the wontons getting overly crisp when they're heated twice. But if that isn't an issue for you, have at it! I've certainly refrigerated and reheated leftovers. They taste good the second time around, but the texture of the wontons may be altered.

Do you put just one wonton in each cup?

These look and sound great but need to substitute the cream cheese, what could I use?
Reply

Hi, Irene. The answer will depend on why you need to substitute the cream cheese. If it's a dairy allergy, there are almond and cashew cream cheeses out there (I feel fairly confident that I've seen them at Whole Foods). But if you can eat dairy, you could probably sub something like mascarpone cheese or maybe even cottage cheese. Or maybe even sour cream. I haven't tried substituting the cream cheese, but these all sound like they could work. I hope you enjoy!!
