HOW TO MAKE WEIGHT WATCHERS CAJUN SHRIMP CUPS
This Weight Watchers Cajun Shrimp Cups recipe is fairly quick and easy to make. You can get most of the steps done while the shrimp are cooking!
STEP ONE: BAKE EGGROLL WRAPPERS
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Cut each eggroll wrapper into four equal square pieces.
Place each eggroll wrapper square into a mini muffin pan
Spray the wraps lightly with nonstick Olive Oil spray to crisp up while baking.
Bake the wrappers for about 8 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack
STEP TWO: COOK SHRIMP
While the eggroll wrappers are cooking, start working on the shrimp!
Start off by zesting a whole lime. Divide the zest into two equal portions and set one portion aside for later.Â
Combine the Cajun seasoning, 1/2 the lime zest, and shrimp in a small bowl. Coat the shrimp well in the seasoning mix and lay them on a baking sheet.
When the eggroll wrappers come out of the oven, go ahead and bake the shrimp for 8-10 minutes or until the shrimp are cooked through.
STEP THREE: MAKE THE SOUR CREAM MIXTURE
Take the zested lime and squeeze out the fresh lime juice.
While the shrimp are cooking, go ahead and mix the sour cream, lime juice, and the rest of the lime zest together in a small bowl.
STEP FOUR: BUILD THE SHRIMP CUPS
Now it is time to build the Cajun Shrimp Cups.
Place 1-2 baby spinach leaves in the bottom of each eggroll wrapper cup. Top with a small drop of the sour cream mixture and end with one shrimp.
