Crab and Snow Pea Tartlets are a delightful appetizer option with a heavenly mixture of snow peas and crabmeat in savory tart shells. This delicacy is perfect as a starter for an elaborate dinner party, or even as a light meal during the day. The contrast of textures – smooth, creamy crab mixture and crunchy snow peas, surrounded by a buttery tart shell – makes for a memorable dish, while the small size allows for easy serving and sharing. These tartlets are not only easy to make, but also easy to customize. You can switch out the filling for a vegetarian option, or experiment with different types of seafood for a unique twist.
