Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
- 250 grams shrimp (peeled, deveined, and chopped)
- 120 grams cream cheese
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 2 stalks green onions (sliced)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Defrost the puff pastry sheets according to package instructions and place them on a lightly floured surface.
In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the chopped shrimp to the skillet and cook until pink and opaque, about 3–4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooked shrimp, cream cheese, green onions, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
Cut each puff pastry sheet into 9 equal squares. You should have 18 squares in total.
Place about 1 tablespoon of the shrimp mixture in the center of each puff pastry square.
Fold each square diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges with a fork to seal them securely.
Brush the tops of the pastries with the beaten egg to give them a golden, shiny finish.
Place the stuffed pastries onto the lined baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
