• For the guacamole:.
• Halve the avocados and remove their pits. Scoop out the flesh and discard the skins. Roughly chop the avocado into cubes (you should have about 1 1/4 cups of cubed avocado).

• Stir the lime and hot sauce into the mashed avocado.

• Tip the contents of the bowl out onto a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 6-7 minutes (the oven should be at 400 degrees F from earlier) until pink and cooked throughout.
• Assemble:.
• Fill each baked wonton cup with a slightly heaped teaspoonful of guacamole. Top each one with a shrimp. Sprinkle with the chopped cilantro.
• Serve immediately - the wontons will start to become soft very quickly once filled.
• NOTE:.
• If you need to make these ahead - prep the wonton wrappers and shrimp in advance. You can keep the baked wontons in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. You can keep the cooked shrimp in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 day. Make the guacamole just before filling and serving otherwise it will start to oxidize, turning brown.
