Mango-Curry Shrimp Salad in Wonton Cups image

Green curry paste (a blend of green chilies, garlic, onion, and spices) adds explosive flavor to these one-biters. You'll need a miniature muffin tin to prepare the wonton cups. From Bon Appetit, October 2001. These can also be made 1 day ahead so are a great make ahead appetizer for guests.
