Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 10 sheets Phyllo dough sheets
- 0.5 cups Butter, melted
- 0.5 cups Crab meat, cooked and shredded
- 0.5 cups Shrimp, cooked, peeled, and chopped
- 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Scallions, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a standard muffin tin.
Lay out one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean, dry surface and brush it generously with melted butter. Layer another sheet of phyllo on top and brush with butter. Repeat until 5 sheets are stacked.
Using a sharp knife or scissors, cut the phyllo dough stack into 12 equal squares.
Gently press each square into the muffin tin, forming small tartlet shells. Repeat the process with the remaining 5 sheets of phyllo to fill the muffin tin.
In a medium bowl, combine the crab meat, chopped shrimp, cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, scallions, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and Parmesan cheese. Mix until well combined and creamy.
Spoon about 1 1/2 tablespoons of the seafood mixture into each phyllo shell, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the phyllo is golden brown and crisp.
Remove the tartlets from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for about 5 minutes before gently transferring them to a wire rack.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm. Enjoy your Crab Shrimp Phyllo Tartlets!
