Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 sheets Phyllo dough sheets
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter, melted
- 0.5 cups Large shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped
- 0.5 cups Lump crab meat
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 4 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tbsp Chopped fresh parsley
- 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lay out one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean work surface. Brush it lightly with melted butter. Lay another sheet on top and repeat the process until you have stacked four sheets total.
Carefully cut the stacked phyllo dough into 12 equal squares.
Press each square of phyllo dough into the cups of a mini muffin tin, creating a tart shell. Repeat the phyllo process with the remaining sheets to make a total of 24 tart shells.
Bake the phyllo shells for 6-8 minutes or until golden and crisp. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until opaque. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, crab meat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well-combined.
Spoon the seafood mixture into the cooled phyllo shells, filling them generously.
Bake the filled tarts in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until the filling is heated through and slightly bubbly.
Remove the tarts from the oven, let them cool for 5 minutes, and garnish with additional parsley if desired before serving.
