Ingredients
2cups Pea Pesto see notes
24Wonton wrappers

1/2tspGarlic salt
24Shrimp, deveined and shelled
2tbspLemon juice
1/2tspOld Bay Seasoning seafood seasoning

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350.
Lay wonton wrappers out flat. Lightly brush olive oil across each. Push them down into a small muffin tin and shape them to fit inside.
Sprinkle a little garlic salt across each.
Bake for about 3-5 minutes, but watch closely so they don’t burn, they will toast quickly.
In a bowl, sprinkle the Old Bay Seasoning and salt over the shrimp and toss.
Heat a pan large enough to accommodate all 24 shrimp. Add a drizzle of olive oil and lemon juice. Add the shrimp and keep them moving. They cook quickly, about 1 minute on each side. Once they turn bright pink, remove and set aside.
Assemble - While the wonton cups are still in the muffin tin, insert 1 tablespoon of pea pesto. Place one shrimp on top of each cup. Garnish with an herb, a pea tendril or nothing at all, since they are pretty enough as is.
