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!
