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.

Provided by Lennie

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.

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.

Provided by Dana Ramsey

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
30 deveined, peeled & cooked medium shrimp

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.
