1 lb. medium shrimp (40-60 count)
Salt/Pepper
Sesame oil, for greasing and brushing
30 (or more) Wonton wrappers
3 ripe avocados
1 lime
2 Tbsp. fresh chives
2 Tbsp. sesame seeds, toasted
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Grease 12 cups of a muffin pan. Press the wonton wrappers into the prepared cups in the pan, then brush the inside of the wonton with sesame oil. Bake in the preheated oven for 4-5 min., or unit crisp and golden. Let cool on a wire rack. Finish the rest of the wontons in batches.
Meanwhile, heat a medium size skillet over medium-high heat. Peel the shrimp and season with salt & pepper. Add about a Tbsp. sesame oil and add the shrimp, cooking until pink and cooked through (about 2 min.). Remove from the heat and set aside.
Halve the avocados, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Cut into a small dice, sprinkle with lime juice, and mix well (so the avocado does not turn brown). Add the chives and a bit of salt & pepper to season the avocado mixture.
Spoon a small amount of the avocado mixture into the wonton cups, top each with 1-2 shrimp, and garnish each wonton cup with the toasted sesame seeds.
