Tips:
- Prep Work: Before starting, ensure all ingredients are measured and ready. Thaw frozen crab meat and shrimp if needed.
- Temperature Control: Use cold butter and eggs for flaky crust and to prevent curdling.
- Phyllo Dough Handling: Phyllo dough sheets are delicate, so handle them gently. Keep the sheets covered with a damp cloth or plastic wrap to prevent drying.
- Layering Phyllo Dough: Use a pastry brush to lightly brush each sheet with melted butter before layering them. This helps create a crispy, flaky crust.
- Blind Baking: Pre-bake the phyllo shells before filling to prevent sogginess. Use pie weights or dried beans to weigh down the shells during baking.
- Filling Consistency: Make sure the crab and shrimp filling is not too wet, as this can make the tartlets soggy. If needed, drain any excess liquid before filling the shells.
- Garnishing: Before serving, garnish the tartlets with fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or dill for an extra touch of flavor and color.
