Scale
Filling
- 6 ounces cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
- 2 teaspoons dried minced onion
- 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 teaspoon seafood seasoning
- 1 cup finely chopped cooked peeled shrimp
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Tart Shells
- 2 packages (1.9 ounces each) frozen miniature phyllo tart shells
Instructions
- Prepare the filling: In a small bowl, beat the cream cheese and sour cream together until smooth and well blended. Add the minced fresh parsley, dried minced onion, Worcestershire sauce, and seafood seasoning, stirring well to combine. Gently fold in the finely chopped cooked shrimp and shredded mozzarella cheese until evenly distributed.
- Fill tart shells: Spoon the prepared shrimp and cream cheese mixture into the frozen miniature phyllo tart shells, filling each shell generously without overfilling.
- Bake: Place the filled tart shells on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8 to 12 minutes, or until the tart shells are lightly browned and the filling is heated through.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve the shrimp bites warm or at room temperature as an appetizer or snack.
Notes
- You can prepare the filling ahead of time and refrigerate it before filling the tart shells.
- For an extra crunch, consider brushing the tart shells lightly with melted butter before filling.
- Adjust the seafood seasoning to taste depending on your spice preference.
- These shrimp bites can also be served cold if preferred.
- Be sure the shrimp is cooked and peeled before chopping and incorporating into the filling.
