SHRIMP PHYLLO TARTS
These little spicy/tangy appetizers are a breeze to make using frozen phyllo shells. I like to boil my shrimp in Zatarain's crab boil for 3 minutes which gives the shrimp a little extra "zing". The serving size is 2 per person, but I've found from experience most people eat 3-4 so you may want to adjust accordingly.

It's bursting with shrimp, curry, sun-dried tomatoes, green onions, ginger, cumin, coriander, turmeric, and topped with an egg...all hidden under the last sheets of phyllo dough. Well worth your time!

Tips:

- Be careful not to overcook the crab and shrimp. They should be cooked just until they are opaque and tender.
- If you don't have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs instead. Just use about 1/3 of the amount of dried herbs that you would use of fresh herbs.
- Phyllo dough can be tricky to work with, so be patient. If the dough starts to tear, just patch it up with a little water.
- To make sure that your tartlets are cooked evenly, rotate them halfway through baking.
