Coconut Shrimp Salad Wontons
Are there ever times when you are craving three different things at one time? This happened to me the other night and I decided to create a recipe that combined three of my favorite things: coconut shrimp, lobster rolls, and wontons! I had a bunch of leftover wonton wrappers in my fridge from a recipe I had made over the weekend and wanted to find a way to utilize them while also satisfying my craving for coconut shrimp and a lobster roll. Thus, the coconut shrimp salad wonton was born! This tasty treat combines the creaminess of a lobster roll with the sweet crunch of toasted coconut. Taster Tester #1 and I each ate five for a meal, but you can also utilize these for appetizers as well.
