Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup shrimp
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 2 sheets puff pastry sheets, thawed
- 1 unit egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 2 tablespoons flour (for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the shrimp, cream cheese, green onions, and soy sauce. Mix well until the filling is smooth and creamy.
Lightly dust your work surface with flour. Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheets slightly to ensure even thickness.
Cut each puff pastry sheet into 12 equal squares, making a total of 24 squares.
Place about 1 teaspoon of the shrimp mixture in the center of each pastry square.
Brush the edges of each pastry square lightly with the beaten egg, then fold the square over diagonally to form a triangle. Press the edges to seal, crimping them with a fork if needed.
Arrange the shrimp puffs on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
Brush the tops of the puffs with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Allow the shrimp puffs to cool slightly before serving. They can be served warm or at room temperature.
To freeze for OAMC: Allow the cooked puffs to cool completely, then place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Transfer the frozen puffs to a freezer-safe bag or container. To reheat, bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes or until heated through.
