Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Tiger shrimp (large, peeled and deveined)
- 1 sheet Puff pastry sheet
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Parsley (chopped for garnish)
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 piece Egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon Water (for egg wash)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Unroll the puff pastry sheet and cut it into 12 equal squares. Place the squares on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the top of each puff pastry square lightly with the egg wash.
Bake the puff pastry squares for 15-18 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, soy sauce, honey, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Add the tiger shrimp to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Let them marinate for 10 minutes.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Remove the shrimp from the marinade and cook in the skillet for 2-3 minutes per side, or until opaque and cooked through. Discard any leftover marinade.
To assemble, place each shrimp on top of a puff pastry square. Drizzle with a bit of the melted butter from the skillet for extra flavor.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately while warm. Enjoy the delicate combination of crispy pastry and juicy shrimp!
