I had some leftover cooked shrimp and a few sheets of phyllo dough in the fridge, and I started thinking about what I could make with these ingredients. I decided to make some fried pouches as an appetizer or tapa. They’re delicious and fun to make—perfect for a special occasion, now that we’re starting to gather with family and friends. This is my suggestion, but you can use any ingredients you have on hand—even empanada wrappers, puff pastry, or pie crust. It’s all about being creative in the kitchen! Hope you enjoy it! See you soon!

Add the cream, cayenne, salt, white pepper, and nutmeg. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, and strain through a fine mesh strainer. Set aside.

    Place the 2 sheets of phyllo dough on top of each other and cut into 12 squares. Place 1 tablespoon of filling on each square, moistening the edges with water. Fold in half to form a triangle, then fold the two side points inward, sealing with a little water. Fry in hot sunflower oil over medium heat until golden brown.
