Ingredients

2 cups shrimp, cooked, peeled, and finely diced, about 1 pound
1/2 cup finely diced celery
1 tablespoon minced green onion
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 (15-count) package frozen mini phyllo shells, thawed, or homemade, recipe follows

Directions

Combine the shrimp, celery, and green onion in a medium bowl. In a small bowl, stir together the lemon juice, mayonnaise, salt and pepper. Pour over the shrimp and stir gently to combine. Spoon into the phyllo shells.

Mini Phyllo Cups:

1 stick butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 sheets phyllo dough
4 tablespoons grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley leaves

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter with the garlic until fragrant.

Lay 1 sheet of phyllo dough on a work surface, brush it all over with the melted butter, sprinkle with a little Parmesan and chopped parsley, top with another sheet and repeat 3 more times until 4 sheets have been used. Cover the phyllo dough with a damp kitchen or paper towel while it sits on the counter to prevent it from drying out as you work. Repeat the stack with the remaining sheets so you end up with 2 stacks. With a large chef knife, cut each stack into 12 equal pieces, 4 by 3 inches. Lightly spray a mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. Line each muffin cup with 1 of the phyllo pieces, gently pressing it down into the edges to form a cup. Repeat to make 24 mini phyllo caps.

Bake in a preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until light golden brown and crisp. Remove from oven and cool completely before filling.

Yield: 24 mini phyllo cups

Prep Time: 20 to 25 minutes

What A Find!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Made these for a party and what a hit! Everybody loved them! Prepared it the night before to save time and let flavors meld.... I would recommend not using more than the recommended amount of onion unless you like it. I used one whole scallion and it was too much for me, but still yummy! Used store bought phyllo cups and got 3 times the recommended servings because they were smaller. I will definitely be making these again! Read more

Just Okay
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

This was easy to make, but it wasn't fantastic. I served it as an appetizer at a Christmas party and had tons leftover. We... did scoop out the leftover filling and put it on toasted french bread with a slice of cheddar. It was better that way.Read more

Very elegant
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I was able to find the pre-made phyllo cups which made this a very fast, easy recipe. Good thing I ate one before I put it... out. The plate was empty.Read more

Rated: 1 stars out of 5

This was not good to me at all. Most of the time I love Paula's recipes but this one I could of lived with out. I had to... change the recipe so it wouldn't be so bland. I would not make this one again.Read more

Easy and Elegant
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Home made cups are definitly the way to go. I made some regular muffin size and used as lunch entree and some mini's. 4... sheets of phyllo will fill 24 mini cups They freeze and reheat well, so while you're in the process make some extra. Not necessary to spray the muffin pans if you put top buttered side down. If using the pre-made, brush them with garlic butter and sprinkle with parmesan and parlsey and reheat. Shrimp salad is good-the first time I cooked/peaeled and diced, the second time I used baby pre-cooked and it was nearly as tasty with much less work. Sprig of dill makes a nice garnish. Salad is also a good topping for cucumber slices or small tomatoes with centers removes (a more figure friendly version)Read more
