PHYLLO SHRIMP WITH DIPPING SAUCES

Phyllo Shrimp with Dipping Sauces image

I created this appetizer when I had some leftover phyllo dough in the freezer. It's perfect for a party because it looks elegant but is easy to make. I serve the shrimp with two sauces, so guests can decide if they're in a sweet or spicy mood. -Sonali Ruder, New York, New York
