Easy Phyllo Tartlets with Cilantro Shrimp Appetizer

The following recipe is simple, easy, light, and impressive. Everyone keeps requesting the recipe so here it is...

For the best flavor, saute raw, peeled, and deveined shrimp in a lightly oiled pan over medium heat until opaque. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp or it will be rubbery.(yuk!) If you are too busy for this step pick up some already cooked shrimp.

I prefer this dish cool or at room temp but if you're looking for a warm dish, pop it in a 400 degree oven for 5 minutes.

Taking this to a party? bring the filling in a small container and fill the tartlets when you arrive.
