Perfectly and dainty pastry baskets filled with garlic and herb goat cheese, diced cherry tomatoes and mini cooked shrimps. Garnish with sprinkles of fresh thyme and green onion for that extra finesse.
To make Shrimp and Goat Cheese Tarts, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat oven to 400 ºF and line a large baking sheet with baking parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, toss tomatoes, thyme and green onion until combined. Set aside.
Roll pastry dough onto a lightly floured surface and cut into 5-6 circles per sheet. Transfer dough circles to the prepared baking sheet. Use a sharp knife or a cookie cutter with a smaller diameter to gently scour the edge of each circle about ½-inch from the center where the pastry will rise around the fillings while baking.
Place 1-2 tablespoons of tomato salad into the center of the pastry and top with a ½-inch thick slice of goat cheese.
Bake in preheated oven for about 10 minutes until pastry has puffed up but not yet browned.
Top each tart with a shrimp, depending on the size you may add a second shrimp.
Return to preheated oven and cook for another 5 minutes until shrimp is warmed and the puffed pastry has cooked well.
Enjoy your tarts served warm or cool.
