Time 6m

Yield 24 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

150 g cream cheese, Philly Lite
24 spring roll wrappers, cups see recipe Spring Roll Wrapper Cups
1 cup prawns, cooked
1 -1 1/2 tablespoon seafood sauce
squeeze lemon juice

Steps:

  • cook prawns, and chop off a larger piece of each prawn and save to put on the top, chop the rest of the prawns finely.
  • Add the lemon juice and the seafood sauce (I use Marie Rose sauce) - many sauces are different thicknesses so start with the one tablespoon and just add more if necessary to the cheese and blend well.
  • Stir in the chopped prawns - or you could use smoked salmon.
  • Fill each cup with the cheese mixture and serve. great for parties or when entertaining. the filling can be made ahead - the same with the cups but the filling has to be put in the cups la late as possible.
