Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large croissants
- 200 grams raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 100 grams smoked Gouda cheese (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 small lemon
- 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice the croissants in half horizontally without cutting all the way through, creating a pocket for the filling. Set aside.
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Toss in the shrimp, then season with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn pink and are opaque.
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the shrimp and sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley. Stir to combine and remove from heat.
Fill each croissant with an even layer of cooked shrimp and top with shredded smoked Gouda cheese.
Place the stuffed croissants on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining melted butter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the croissants are golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and garnish with the remaining parsley and a light squeeze of lemon juice for freshness.
Serve warm and enjoy your Shrimp Smoked Gouda Croissants!
