QUICK'N'EASY SEAFOOD TARTS



Quick'n'Easy Seafood Tarts image

These tarts are a cinch to make, and always a hit at a shower or any gathering. Substitute a vegetable for the seafood to make this recipe vegetarian. This dish also lets you stretch a small amount of seafood; for example, smoked salmon tarts are easier on the budget to put out than a whole platter of smoked salmon. These keep well in the fridge for a day or two, as well.

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 24m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

12 unbaked miniature tart shells
1/2 cup chopped smoked salmon (or ANY seafood, your choice)
1/2 cup half-and-half (table cream)
1 large egg
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375F; arrange tart shells on a baking sheet.
  • Into each shell, place 2 tsp of your favourite seafood; this recipe will also work with chopped ham, chopped asparagus etc, so use your imagination!
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the cream, egg and mustard; I like to also add the fresh dill because I like its taste, but leave it out or substitute if you don't want dill.
  • Distribute cream mixture evenly among the tarts and then bake for 12 to 14 minutes, until golden and"custard" is set.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.

For pumpernickel crust
9 ounces dense pumpernickel (about eight 4-inch-square slices; preferably Wild's multigrain Danish)
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled
For shrimp filling
1 1/4 pounds medium shrimp (about 36)
3 tablespoons golden or red lumpfish caviar (from a 2-ounce jar)
2 cups sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons unflavored gelatin
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon water

VERY TASTY AND VERY EASY SHRIMP TARTLETS



Very Tasty And Very Easy Shrimp Tartlets image

We had 2 sons who got married last year and I prepared all the food for their rehearsal dinners. I made these and they were a huge hit. Of course I had to make several batches as there were 30 people at each dinner.

Categories     Seafood Appetizers

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 8 oz. of soften cream cheese, regular or light
1 1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce
2 tsp grated onion
1 tsp garlic powder/salt
1/8 tsp lemon juice
2 pkg 1.9 oz each frozen mini phyllo tart shells
1/2 c cocktail sauce

  • 3. Tipp: You can either use the shrimp plain or steam them in old bay seasoning. I've made them both ways and either way is great. Enjoy.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh, large shrimp. Peel and devein the shrimp before cooking.
  • To make the filling, cook the shrimp in a skillet over medium heat until opaque and cooked through. Let the shrimp cool slightly before chopping.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  • To make the tarts, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a muffin pan with paper liners.
  • Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles. Press each triangle into the muffin cups.
  • Spoon the shrimp filling into the tart shells. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tarts are golden brown and the filling is heated through.
  • Let the tarts cool for a few minutes before serving.
