    Directions

    I had to do it, I took the challenge. Which would be Healthy Solutions Spice Blends 2016 Blogger Challenge.

    I like recipe challenges

    anyway, I think I'd be a natural at Chopped.

    Just sayin... ummm, anyone know someone at Food Network?

    My challenge was to use one of Healthy Solutions Spice Blends

    and come up with a new, fun recipe using it.

    My choice was their Shrimp Scampi Seasoning. Which is a

    perfect blend of garlic, onions and other spices.

    And since I live on the Gulf Coast, I wanted to come up

    with a new and interesting recipe using the seasoning mix and

    Shrimp.

    We have a lot of shrimp here, and while I love shrimp, steamed and

    served with some Cocktail Sauce, it doesn't hurt to try something

    new.

    Really, it doesn't...

    I had many sleepless nights trying to come up with something fun

    and good, I'd wake up at 2 am with an idea and then forget it

    by morning. sigh I actually came up with two

    recipes, but I'll tell you about the other one another time.

    Cause it was a close race as to which recipe I wanted to submit. But

    this is the one that edged out the other one.

    Barely.

    I'm not the only one who voted on it either, I tried it out on a

    bunch of guinea pigs friends. Who managed to clean the plate each

    time I made them.

    Here is my entry for the contest.

    I call these Scampi Bites.

    Preheat oven to 375 degrees Grease a couple of mini tart

    pans

    Recipe: Yield 25-30 Scampi Bites, depending on the

    size of the shrimp.

    Tassi Dough

    minutes.

    Step 4: Take the Tassi Dough out of the fridge, form into

    marble sized balls, and flatten each one out into a thin disc and

    press them into each depression of a mini tart pan. Continue

    until all the depressions are filled.

    Place one of the

    par-cooked shrimp into each tart

    and bake at 375 -380 degrees for 15

    minutes. Remove to a serving platter and serve with a spoonful

    of Scampi Sauce on top.

    Serve warm or at room temp.

    BTW, you can see my video on Youtube here .

    ***Disclaimer***

    I received a packet of Shrimp Scampi Seasoning mix to use in the

    creation of this recipe.
