QUICK'N'EASY SEAFOOD TARTS
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.

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.

Steps:

- Shell shrimp and if desired devein. In a saucepan of boiling salted water cook shrimp until just cooked through, about 1 minute, and drain in a colander. Rinse shrimp under cold water and pat dry. Coarsely chop shrimp.
- If using red lumpfish caviar, in a fine sieve rinse and drain well. In a large bowl stir together shrimp, caviar, sour cream, mayonnaise, and heavy cream. In a small saucepan sprinkle gelatin over lemon juice and water and let stand 1 minute to soften. Heat gelatin mixture over low heat, stirring, until gelatin is dissolved. Cool mixture slightly and stir into shrimp mixture with chives, white pepper, and salt to taste.
- Pour filling into crust, spreading evenly. Chill tart, loosely covered with plastic wrap, at least 6 hours, or until filling is set, and up to 1 day. Garnish tart with chives.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray 4 tartlet pans with cooking spray.
- Heat oil in a small pan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir green onions, sun-dried tomatoes, ginger, lemon zest and juice, garlic, curry powder, coriander, and turmeric until the onions are translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Increase the heat to medium, add shrimp, and mix until they turn pink, 3 to 4 minutes. Add cream and set aside.

- Cook in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown, about 20 minutes.

VERY TASTY AND VERY EASY SHRIMP TARTLETS

Steps:
- 1. In a small bow, combine the cream cheese, worcestershire sauce, grated onion, garlic power/salt and lemon juice. Blend well.
- 2. Spoon into the tart shells and top with cocktail sauce and shrimp. Regrigerate until ready to serve.
- 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.
- Garnish with fresh dill or parsley.
Conclusion:
