• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, ricotta cheese, dill, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

4. Cut the layered phyllo dough into 6 equal squares.
5. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the shrimp and ricotta mixture onto the center of each square.
6. Fold the square diagonally to form a triangle, enclosing the filling. Press the edges firmly to seal.

8. Place the turnovers on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with melted butter.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
