SHRIMP PHYLLO TARTS
These little spicy/tangy appetizers are a breeze to make using frozen phyllo shells. I like to boil my shrimp in Zatarain's crab boil for 3 minutes which gives the shrimp a little extra "zing". The serving size is 2 per person, but I've found from experience most people eat 3-4 so you may want to adjust accordingly.

This tart was a hit at my friend's baby shower. It reminds me of a fruit salad that my mother used to make with cream cheese and whipped topping. Everyone loved the flaky crust, and the bright colors make it a pretty addition to any spread. -Laura McAllister, Morganton, North Carolina

PRIZE WINNING FESTIVE PHYLLO TARTS
A number of years ago I won a Maytag stove by entering this recipe in a Splenda contest. Both my husband and my son are diabetics, and I try to adapt recipes that can fit into their diets. This dessert is tasty enough, and looks elegant enough to be served for any occasion...just vary the optional toppings (listed below) to suit the occasion (ie, mincemeat for Thanksgiving or Christmas, , or simply dust with confectioners sugar if that would work with your carb allowance.

Steps:
- For filling, beat cream cheese and Splenda until smooth.
- Add eggs, sour cream, and vanilla, and beat well. I usually prepare the filling in the food processor. Set aside.
- For crust, place 1 sheet of phyllo on a work surface (keep remainder covered with a damp tea towel to prevent drying out). Brush with melted margarine (or butter). Place a second sheet on top. Cut into 12 squares. Place 1 square in each greased muffin cup, leaving the corners of the square extending up into points. Repeat with remaining 2 sheets of phyllo, placing this next square on top of the phyllo lined muffin cups, but giving it a 1/4 turn, so the points fit between the existing ones (completed pastry should look like a tulip).
- Divide cheese mixture between tart shells. If using optional filling drop 1/2 TBSP of any topping except fresh fruit, in center of each tart.
- Bake at 375°F for 20 minutes, or until pastry is golden and filling is set.
- Cool in muffin tin on a rack until only warm, then remove from tin to rack to finish cooling.
- Store in the refrigerator.
- Garnish with fresh fruit (and a sprinkle of powdered sugar) if using that option.

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.

- 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!

- Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:
- thaw tart shells, fill half way with cream cheese that the onion has been added to.
- top cream cheese with seafood sauce. Then place a shrimp on top, garnish with a sprig of parsley.
Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling later.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your tarts the best flavor. If possible, use wild-caught shrimp and fresh phyllo dough.
- Don't Overcook the Shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
- Use a Sharp Knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to cut the shrimp and phyllo dough.
- Be Careful When Working with Phyllo Dough: Phyllo dough is delicate, so be careful when handling it. Avoid tearing the dough.
- Brush the Tarts with Butter: Brushing the tarts with butter before baking will help them brown and crisp up.
- Serve Immediately: Shrimp phyllo tarts are best served immediately after they are baked.

Shrimp phyllo tarts are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer. They're perfect for parties or potlucks. With a few simple tips, you can make sure your tarts turn out perfectly every time. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
