Spicy Shrimp Ceviche Cups! They were fun to put together and really yummy. I actually do half chicken and half shrimp. It wasn't that spicy either, just watch how much jalapeno you put in it.

 

[ChefMoore]

I agree with Spicy Shrimp Ceviche Cups, but make sure you use a fresh pack of tortillas because if they've been opened already it makes them harder to get to stay in the mini muffin pan. At least that's been my experience. Anyone else have a similar experience?

I 2nd the Spicy Shrimp Ceviche Cups. You can put any kind of filling in those cute little tortilla cups, so it's very versatile.

I was telling DH that I wanted to make these again but they really are an "eat now" type of thing, they don't store well because the fridge makes the crust yucky and soggy and it has cream cheese in it so you cannot leave them out. Maybe I'll see if my MIL will let me bring them to dinner again.

 

[kspry]

Yes, they are definitely an "eat now" recipe. But, it's easy to bake the cups in advance, put them in tupperware and fill them later.

I second this one! This was the very first recipe I made at a show and it was deeelish!

I used extra mayo the first time (by accident) and liked them better than the actual recipe :chef:

Is that the same as the Cheesy Artichoke Cups from the use and care? If not, please tell me where the recipe is or better yet, post it for me :chef:

Thanks!

 

[janetupnorth]

Along the lines of the shrimp ceviche cups I use the tortillas and hamburger and make a mini taco cup variation....

Ditto... I don't know where this recipe is either... but I'm hoping someone will tell us???

I was reading on another thread... someone suggested using wonton wrappers instead of tortilla's since they are thinner ... has anyone tried this? Did it work or fail? I think that saving steps makes recipes more appealing time wise... but I know it would cut out using some products as well so I am trying to decide what to do...

My grandkids LOVE the corn dog recipe. When guests see how easy and good they are it is easy to come up with all kinds of uses for it. Of course I combine it with the small scoop and tart shaper (both a must have).

I can't believe no one has mentioned Shrimp Wonton Cups. They are soooo yummy! Can't remember which cookbook the recipe is in, but you can usually find it on the PC recipe websites that are out there.

This is all so wonderful! THIS is one of the many reasons I LOVE CS!!!!!! Thanks everyone! I'll continue to make my list and give my host a call when she gets off from work... I know we can choose something great with all your help! I had a host add drained frozen spinach to the ham puff recipe and let me tell you... they were SO great that way... they went from ... hmmm those are good to THESE are SUPER! I'm so thankful for everyone here... Have a blessed afternoon and evening. I'm going into this show tomorrow with over $300 in outside orders and a booking... God continues to show Himself at every turn and I am just praising His name for this show and all this help that each of you are to me. I hope He will use me in some small way to repay all your help! Bless you!

I've used the wonton wrappers too, but it is so fun to see the tart shaper make a spiral out of the tortillas after they've been cut. This is a step I let guests do.

Just make sure you get thin tortillas.

 

[quiverfull7]

Hmmm... maybe since it's interactive... we'll do some of both! I see the advantages to each so why not show them to them as well.

Yes, these are really good. I just made them the other day for the first time. They are from the Celebrate Cookbook. I like the Elegant Artichoke Cups too, but DH is not a fan of artichokes, so I am glad I found the recipe for the Shrimp Wonton Cups. He really liked them.

I love the ham puffs too.

OMG, me too Jen! Can't believe it!!! They are in the Celebrate cookbook and it's either the very first or second recipe of the book! I add cream cheese and bacon to it!!!!!!!!!!!! YUMMMOOOO!:love: I catered my best friends step son's wedding and they had me make 300 of these! They dissappeared fast! And part of the reason I had to make so much for a croud of only about 100, is because all her sisters loved them and everyone was eating them as we make them! LOL! They are soo loved in that family!:love:

How much cream cheese and bacon and do you delete the shrimp then or these are in addition to the shrimp?

 

[redsoxgirl]

I know someone listed the recipe, but the artichoke cups was one of the "Recipes for new Consultants" when I started in Sept. I think they're on CC.

 

[quiverfull7]

Yea... then I can get the shopping list there too if that is what we choose... thanks!

I used wonton wrappers to make little taco cups. Worked great! Just make sure you brush with olive oil....this helps them to stay in the cup.

 

[jrstephens]

I have used the wonton's before. Make sure to watch them b/c they are easy to burn! :chef:

 

[lacychef]

Thanks for posting that recipe; it sounds yummy!

The mini ham puffs are an easy go-to recipe too; especially for picky people.

 

[wadesgirl]

I didn't have a hard time with the tortillas, you do have to be careful with them but they turned out great.
