Chipotle-Shrimp Cups image

These little bites look so fancy, but are actually so easy to make. A tangy creamy mixture of cream cheese, sour cream, and green onions is piped into crispy phyllo cups and topped with spicy chipotle shrimp. You won't be able to eat just one!

Time 1h5m

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

16 frozen mini phyllo shells
1 pkg. (8 oz.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
1/4 tsp. salt
2-3 grinds pepper
1 can (7 oz.) chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
1 lb. uncooked medium shrimp, peeled, deveined
1 Tbsp. minced garlic
3 Tbsp. olive oil
salt, to taste
2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
3-4 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350ºF.
  • Cups and Filling
  • Crisp your phyllo cups on a parchment-lined baking sheet in the oven for 5 min. before setting aside to cool completely.
  • When the cups are cool, whip the cream cheese, sour cream, green onions, salt and pepper together. Transfer this mixture to a ziptop bag with one bottom corner cut off, then use to fill each phyllo cup.
  • Chipotle-Shrimp
  • Process the chipotle peppers and sauce in a food processor until smooth. Place the chipotle purée, shrimp and garlic together in a ziptop bag and gently work the bag around until the shrimp are evenly coated. Place the shrimp in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to marinate.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Add the shrimp and sauce to the pan, then sprinkle with the salt and lime juice. Cook for around 4 minutes, tossing the shrimp as needed, until the shrimp are cooked through. Remove from the heat and gently mix in the butter.
  • Assembly
  • Top filled cups with shrimp and cilantro. Serve warm.
