seafood appetizers-
This seafood appetizer is the ultimate recipe! I really enjoy working with phyllo (filo) dough sheets. Once baked, the layers are so delicate, crispy, and crunchy. Then added seafood filling of shrimp, crab with cream cheese, mayo, and Parmesan cheese just takes the appetizers over the top. The amount of the seafood mixture is enough for 24 mini cups (using a mini cupcake baking pan). If you don’t want to make that many, just use the desired amount and keep the rest refrigerated for later.
can I make this recipe ahead of time?
The seafood mixture refrigerates well for days (just keep covered). This is a wonderful recipe to prep ahead of time if you are having a party and are trying to prep some food in advance. All you would have to do the day of serving is stuff the phyllo sheets and bake. So easy. Not only is this recipe super easy and delicious, but these shrimp appetizers are also SOO beautiful when served. They will be such a wonderful addition to your next gathering.
tips for making seafood phyllo cups-
In this recipe, I use cooked shrimp. If you have raw shrimp, you can cook the shrimp. Once it’s cooled, use it instead of the cooked shrimp.In this recipe, I used imitation crab. If you have canned crab or fresh crab meat, they would be a wonderful substitute.Be sure that the phyllo sheets are completely thawed before use.While working with a few phyllo sheets at a time, keep the remaining sheets covered so they don’t dry out.These are best if baked and served immediately.You can prep these, cover them with plastic wrap, and keep the pan refrigerated until ready to bake. Just don’t forget to remove the plastic wrap – that would not be good.
