Ingredients:

For the Sushi Rice:

  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 1 ¼ cups water
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt

For the Shrimp Filling:

  • 1 lb large shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic (minced)
  • 1-2 teaspoons wasabi paste (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 green onion (finely chopped)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: sesame seeds for garnish

For the Cups:

  • 6-8 small wonton wrappers
  • Cooking spray or oil for brushing
  • Optional: nori seaweed sheets, cut into small squares for garnishing

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Sushi Rice:

  • Rinse the sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch.
  • Combine the rinsed rice and water in a medium pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes or until the water is absorbed and rice is tender.
  • In a separate bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Once the rice is done, fluff it with a fork and gently fold in the vinegar mixture. Set aside to cool.

2. Cook the Shrimp:

  • In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add the shrimp, seasoning with salt, and pepper. Cook until the shrimp are pink and opaque (about 3-4 minutes).
  • Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Then chop the shrimp into small pieces.
  • In a bowl, mix chopped shrimp, wasabi paste, mayonnaise, and green onion. Adjust seasoning to taste.

3. Prepare the Wonton Cups:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Lightly brush the wonton wrappers with cooking spray or oil and arrange them in a muffin tin to form cups.
  • Bake for about 8-10 minutes or until they are golden and crispy. Let them cool.

4. Assemble the Sushi Cups:

  • Take the cooled sushi rice and press a small amount into the bottom of each wonton cup.
  • Spoon the wasabi shrimp mixture on top of the sushi rice.
  • Optionally, garnish with sesame seeds and a square of nori.

5. Serve:

  • Serve immediately as a delightful appetizer or chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
