Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 Russet potatoes, peeled
- 1.5 teaspoons Curry powder
- 2 Puff pastry sheets, thawed
- 1 Egg, beaten
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Dice the peeled russet potatoes into small chunks and cook until fork-tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth. Let them cool slightly.
While the potatoes are cooking, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove from the skillet, chop them into small pieces, and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, cooked shrimp, and curry powder. Mix thoroughly and season with a pinch of salt if needed.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets and cut each sheet into 6 squares, making a total of 12. Spoon 1-2 tablespoons of the shrimp and potato mixture into the center of each square.
Brush the edges of each puff pastry square with the beaten egg. Fold the squares diagonally to form triangles, pressing the edges firmly to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
Place the assembled puffs onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and flaky.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm!
