Looking for an easy make ahead appetizer? These shrimp and avocado wonton bites are the best idea I’ve had in a long time for a party bite.
Prep: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients: 13
Serves: 36
Ingredients
Dip
- 1/2 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tsp Salt and Pepper, (to taste)
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt
- 2 Tbsp Lime Juice
- 2 Tbsp Dill Infused Olive Oil – Zoë Olive Oil
- 1 Tbsp Dill, Fresh, chopped
- 1 Tbsp Capers, chopped
- 1 Tbsp Red Onion, diced
Filling
- 1 whole Avocado, chopped and smashed
- 1 1/2 cups Shrimp, Cooked, (chopped, I used 3/4 shrimp size)
- 1 whole Wonton Wrappers, Frozen, (approx 36 used, thawed the night before in fridge)
Process
- Clean and rinse your shrimp, set aside
- Fill a medium pot over stove with water and bring to a boil, once boiling, add your shrimp
- Let shrimp cook for about 5 min until they turn pink
- Once cooked, remove them from the hot water and place into a bowl with water and ice to stop the cooking process
- In a small bowl, add your ingredients for the dipping sauce; mayonnaise, salt, pepper, lime juice, dill infused olive oil, capers and red onion and mix
- Set bowl in fridge to stay cold
- Drain shrimp and pat dry
- On a cutting board, dice your avocado and shrimp, add to a bowl, mix well (your choice to season again with salt and pepper at this point)
- On a clean cutting board, lay your wonton wrappers flat and use your finger dipped in water to coat the edges
- Fill each wonton with 1 tsp of filling
- Fold wonton into a triangle shape and squeeze the edges together to form a pocket, continue process and repeat until all wrappers are completed
- Bring a large sauce pan with your choice of oil to shallow fry the wonton wrappers (I used sunflower oil, that’s what I had on hand)
- Allow wontons to cook for approx 5 min per side and place on a wire rack to cool
- Serve with dipping sauce and enjoy!
Notes
You can makes these ahead of time and air fry them just before your guests arrive. Pop in air fryer at 375F for 8min or until bubbling.
