Shrimp Cups

This year hubs and I stayed in for NYE with the baby. We decided to have a nice dinner at home.  Appetizers, Main Course, Dessert...the whole 9 yards.  

Last weekend, I started planning the meal.  Right away I noticed that finding a dairy free appetizer was extremely difficult.  Most appetizers involve some sort of cheese.  Think about it.  I bet if you think about your favorite apps, they have cheese.  After a lot of searching, I found these shrimp cups.  The original recipe tells you how to make the cups that the shrimp go in.  I already had mini phyllo cups at home and decided to use those.  I used the filling ingredients and followed that part of the recipe.  This appetizer took about 20 minutes to make

Results: They were big one bite appetizers.  I loved the sweetness of the fruit combined with the shrimp.  I was pleasantly surprised with how they turned out.
