Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cooked shrimp (chopped)
- 4 oz Cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tbsp Green onions (finely chopped)
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 can Crescent roll dough (refrigerated)
- 1 tbsp Butter (melted, optional)
- 1 tsp Parsley (finely chopped, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, softened cream cheese, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and set aside.
Open the can of crescent roll dough and separate it into 8 triangles along the perforations.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the shrimp filling at the wide end of each crescent dough triangle.
Carefully roll up the dough starting from the wide end toward the narrow tip, enclosing the filling completely. Pinch any open edges to seal the filling inside.
Place the filled crescents on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Optional: Brush the tops of the crescents with melted butter for added golden color and flavor.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the crescents are golden brown and flaky.
Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your shrimp crescents!
