CREME DE BRIE SHRIMP CUPS

Category: Cold

2 (2.1 oz) pkg frozen phyllo tartlet shells
1 (5 oz) pkg Creme de Brie at room temperature
30 cooked frozen (thawed) or fresh salad shrimp (about 2/3 of a 7 oz pkg)
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1/2 tsp grated orange peel
1 tbsp orange juice
1 tbsp chopped chives
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1/8 tsp garlic, finely minced

Arrange tartlet shells on 2 serving plates. Spoon a scant tsp Creme de Brie in each.

In medium bowl, combine shrimp and all remaining ingredients. Toss to coat shrimp. Place 1 shrimp over cheese in each shell. Spoon a little orange juice-chive mixture over shrimp. Serve immediately.

Variation: For a slightly salty flavor, substitute 30 cup-shaped tortilla chips for the phyllo tartlet shells.

If using phyllo tartlet shells, these can be served cold or warm (warm for 5 minutes at 350 degrees).
