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.

Wow! I sauteed the shrimp in EVOO with a bit of Old Bay, salt and pepper and followed the rest of the recipe exactly. Used frozen phyllo cups, generously filling 15 cups with a bit left over. A big hit with the family, even my 17 year old son and the hubby (thought it might be too "girlie" for them. Love the idea of crumbling bacon on top, so will try that next time.

One of the most delicious and easiest recipes to follow. Made it for my friends at our weekly "gathering" and they absolutely loved it (as did I! I used "store-bought" phyllo cups and they worked out just fine--tasty and easy to use. Thank you, Paula!
