Guacomole
Cut avocados in half, remove pit, and spoon avocado into a mixing bowl.
Add minced garlic and squeeze the juice from one-half of the lime into the bowl of avocado.
Mash the ingredients together to desired consistency using the back of a large spoon or a potato masher (some like the avocado chunky, some like it smoother).
Fold in diced tomato and diced onion, a couple pinches of salt, and the juice from the remaining lime half (Also add cilantro or peppers at this time).
Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes.
Uncover and taste.
Add salt as needed.
Final Assembly
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Grease a 24-cup mini muffin tray with nonstick spray.
Push a wonton wrapper down into each muffin tin. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden. Remove from oven and increase heat to 400 degrees F.
Combine shrimp, olive oil, garlic and seasoning in a bowl, along with salt and pepper to taste.
Arrange shrimp on a baking sheet and roast until just pink and firm, about 6-7 minutes.
