Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets Puff pastry sheets
- 200 grams Cooked shrimp, finely chopped
- 120 grams Cream cheese, softened
- 1 clove Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Chives, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 piece Egg, beaten
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets and cut each sheet into 12 equal squares, making a total of 24 squares.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, softened cream cheese, minced garlic, lemon juice, chopped chives, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Place about a teaspoon of the shrimp mixture onto the center of each square of puff pastry.
Brush the edges of the pastry squares with the beaten egg, then fold each square diagonally to form a triangle. Press the edges firmly to seal, using a fork to crimp the edges.
Transfer the shrimp puffs to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
Brush the tops of the shrimp puffs with the remaining beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden and crisp.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm as an appetizer or snack and enjoy!
