Superbowl Cooking!

Both of these recipes are pretty dang easy and absolutely positively delicious and... they are on the healthier side.

First one is a dip. Lets call it Salsa Shrimp Dip.
1 1/2 lbs cocktail shrimp (thawed if they are frozen)
2 cups Chunky Pico de Gallo or Salsa (I bought the fresh stuff from Harmons, would love to make my own, you don't want it very runny)
1 1/2 cups cocktail sauce
1 lemon juiced
Mix it all together and serve with your favorite cracker or chips!
I forgot to take a pic but this looks similar

Next on the menu: Pizza Wontons

Crispy Pizza Wontons
Wonton wrappers
mozzarella cheese
marinara sauce (shop bought is fine)
small slices of salami/pepperoni/ or your favorite pizza topping
1 egg
Vegetable oil
Pre heat the oven to 400. Spoon a blob of marinara sauce into the center of the wonton. Top with a cube of cheese and a slice of salami. Crack the egg, and give it a quick whisk. Use a pastry brush (or your fingers) to dab a layer of egg around the edges of the wonton wrapper, then fold over into a triangle (try to seal out air pockets)
Repeat for the rest of the wontons
Brush both sides of each wonton with vegetable oil and place on a baking tray. Bake for about 8-10 minutes until the parcels are golden and crispy.
Suggestion for next time - Try using alfredo sauce and grilled chicken I think it would be yummy.
