Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
On a clean work surface, layer one sheet of phyllo dough. Lightly brush it with melted butter. Place a second sheet on top, brush with butter, and repeat until all 6 sheets are layered.
Cut the layered phyllo dough into 12 equal squares using a sharp knife.
Place each square into the cups of a standard muffin tin, gently pressing them down to form the shape of a cup.
Bake the phyllo cups in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely.
While the phyllo cups cool, prepare the shrimp filling. In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, minced garlic, lemon juice, fresh dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
In a small skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the cooked shrimp and sauté for 1-2 minutes to warm them through. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Spoon a small amount of the cream mixture into each cooled phyllo cup.
Top each filled cup with a cooked shrimp. Garnish with additional chopped dill, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your crispy shrimp phyllo cups!
