Things You'll Need:
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 3 cups diced Vidalia onions
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1/4 tsp anise seed
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 tsp white pepper
- Pinch of salt
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- Cooking oil spray
- 2 oz blue cheese (I use Maytag Blue)
- 24 wonton wrappers (or 6 egg roll wrappers cut into quarters)
- 24 medium (41-50 count) cooked shrimp
- Minced fresh chives (optional)
-
Step 1
Melt the butter over medium heat in a heavy saucepan. Add the onions and the cranberries and cook, stirring regularly, until the onions have softened and colored (about 20 minutes.)
-
Step 2
Stir in the anise seed, brown sugar, lemon juice, water, pepper, and salt. Cook for 10-15 minutes more, stirring regularly.
-
Step 3
While the onions are cooking, crumble the blue cheese in a medium bowl. Add the cream cheese and mix thoroughly.
-
Step 4
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray mini muffin pans with cooking spray. Press a wonton wrapper into each cup, folding the corners out like petals. Put about half a teaspoon of cheese mixture into each, add about 1 teaspoon of onion marmalade, and top with a shrimp.

Step 5
Bake at 400 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Sprinkle with minced fresh chives, if desired.
