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:
- 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 perfect flaky crust, use a combination of all-purpose flour and butter. Make sure the butter is cold and cut into small pieces before incorporating it into the flour. - When rolling out the dough, do it on a lightly floured surface to prevent sticking. Roll the dough to a thickness of about 1/8 inch. - Use fresh seafood for the best flavor. If using frozen seafood, thaw it completely before using. - For a creamy and flavorful filling, use a combination of cheeses, such as cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and mozzarella cheese. - For a crispy crust, bake the tartlets until the edges are golden brown.Conclusion:
Seafood tartlets are a delicious and elegant appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With a flaky crust, creamy filling, and succulent seafood, these tartlets are sure to impress your guests. They are also relatively easy to make, so you can enjoy them even on a busy weeknight. So next time you are looking for a special appetizer, give these seafood tartlets a try.
