Golden cups

1. In each cup of a small mini cupcake pan, overlap 2 spring roll wrappers, setting the wrappers perpendicular on top of one another. Push down in the middle to form a cup shape. Bake wrappers in the oven at 350°F for 5 minutes.
2. Set aside 2-4 shrimp (equal to the number of cups made). In a bowl, mix together remaining shrimp, peanuts, green peppers, red pepper, celery, cucumber, minced mint leaves and minced coriander with the reserved lemongrass sauce to create filling.
3. Scoop filling into cups and top each with a shrimp.
