Ingredients:
12 wonton wrappers (from one 12 oz pkg), each cut into 4 squares... (some packages contain 48)
Vegetable oil
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
5 tsp fresh lime juice

Whisk mayonnaise, chopped fresh cilantro, lime juice, chutney and curry paste in medium bowl to blend (adjust chutney and curry to liking). Stir in shrimp. Season salad to taste with salt and pepper. (Salad can be prepared up to 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
Place wonton cups on serving platter. Spoon 1 teaspoon shrimp salad into each cup. Garnish with cilantro leaves.
