Fill with small beans or lentils (or whatever you use for blind baking). Bake for 15 minutes (watch that the edges do not brown).

Melt 20 g butter in a frying pan, and when hot, tip in the scampi. Fry "sauté" (fry while tossing gently) for 1 or 2 minutes, just until they begin to brown a little (be careful not to overcook them).

Stage 8 - 5 min.
Langoustine and leek tarts
Put a layer of hot leeks into each pastry case (reheat them first if necessary).

Then add a layer of scampi.

Stage 10 - 5 min.

Remarks
The most difficult thing with this recipe is serving it all hot. It is better to take your time preparing everything, then reheat it all (except the hollandaise sauce, which should be kept warm) and fill the tarts at the last minute.
Keeping: Only a few minutes once assembled.
