Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to recreate these scrumptious rolls:
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 package puff pastry sheets, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Feel free to substitute the mozzarella cheese with cheddar or pepper jack if you prefer a bit of extra kick. You can also swap the shrimp for cooked chicken if seafood isn’t your thing, maintaining that creamy, savory goodness.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Sauté the shrimp with garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until they turn pink, about 4-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let them cool.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, and chopped green onions. Fold in the cooled shrimp mixture gently.
- Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into rectangles about 4×6 inches in size.
- Spoon 2 tablespoons of the shrimp and cheese mixture onto each rectangle, then fold over to create a roll. Seal the edges by pressing with a fork.
- Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg to give them a golden finish.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the rolls are puffed and golden brown. Let them cool slightly before serving.
Cooking these rolls is a delightful experience, as the aroma of baking pastry fills your kitchen, evoking memories of family gatherings and celebrations.
