🛒 Ingredients

For the Wonton Cups:

• 12 square wonton wrappers 🥟

• Cooking oil spray 🛢️

For the Explosive Dynamite Shrimp:

• 300g medium shrimp (peeled, deveined, and chopped into bite-sized pieces) 🍤

• 1/3 cup cornstarch 🌾

• 1 large egg (beaten) 🥚

• Vegetable oil (for shallow frying) 🛢️

For the Dynamite Sauce & Garnish:

• 1/3 cup mayonnaise 🥣

• 2 tablespoons Sriracha hot sauce 🌶️

• 1 tablespoon sweet Thai chili sauce 🍯

• 1 teaspoon honey 🍯

• Finely sliced green onions and black sesame seeds (for garnish) 🌱

👩‍🍳 Detailed Instructions

1. Shape the Pastry Shells: 🧁 Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Lightly spray a 12-count muffin tin with cooking oil. Press one wonton wrapper flat down into each cup, letting the corners flare out. Bake empty for 5-6 minutes until rigid and lightly golden. Set aside to cool.

2. Batter the Shrimp: 🥣 Pat the chopped shrimp pieces completely dry with paper towels. Dip them into the beaten egg, then toss thoroughly in the cornstarch until every piece is dry, powdery, and completely insulated.

3. Flash Fry for Crunch: 🍳 Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the shrimp pieces in a single layer for 2-3 minutes, turning once, until they form a beautiful, crisp, pale-golden shell. Drain on a paper towel.

4. Whisk the Dynamic Glaze: 🥣 In a medium bowl, vigorously whisk together the mayonnaise, Sriracha, sweet chili sauce, and honey until it forms a smooth, glossy orange glaze. Drop the hot crispy shrimp right into the bowl and fold gently until heavily coated.

5. Assemble and Serve: 🍽️ Spoon the glossy dynamite shrimp evenly into each of the pre-baked crispy wonton cups. Scatter sliced green onions and black sesame seeds over the top and serve immediately while the shrimp are hot and the cups are perfectly crunchy!
