Prawn and Avocado Salsa Wonton Cups

Boxing Day we headed off for lunch at our long time family friends' house.  It was a lovely day so I decided to take something light yet tasty as my food offering.

Wonton cups are so easy to make and make an attractive entree, finger food and even a dessert.  They can be filled with whatever takes your fancy.  I decided that it would be prawns with an avocado salsa just for something different.


 Prawn and Avocado Salsa Wonton Cups

Serves: 30
ProPoints per Serve: 1

30 fresh wonton wrappers
30 cooked and peeled prawns
1 avocado, diced
3 large tomatoes, diced
1/2 red onion, finely diced
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon chilli powder
freshly ground black pepper
150 grams Kraft Philadelphia Extra Light cream cheese

Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius.

Spray a large muffin tin with cooking spray.  Line each muffin hole with a wonton wrapper.  Spray tops of wrapper and cook in oven for 5 - 8 minutes or until wrapper is crisp and golden.  Remove and allow to cool.

In a bowl gently mix together the avocado, tomatoes, red onion, lemon juice, chilli powder and black pepper.

In the base of the wonton cup place a teaspoon cream cheese, stand up the prawn and fill the wonton cup with a couple of teaspoons of salsa.

Serve.

Note - do not fill too early before serving or wonton cup with go soggy.
