surfin seafood tart

Was at kino the other day browsing some food mags and saw this easy-peasy seafood tart recipe. Wanted to try it but didn't want to get that mag as there was nothing else worth buying for. So I copied it down on my phone, went down to Cold Storage, bought the ingredients, went home and tried it out with slight modification of my own. Boy was it surprisingly good!! So thought I'll share the recipe. XLB you might want to try this for your hubby hehe!
