How to Make Cheesy Garlic Shrimp Puff Rolls 🍤🧀

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). The perfect temperature for golden, crispy rolls!
2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Now, add the shrimp, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook until the shrimp are pink and opaque, which should take about 3-4 minutes. Once done, remove from heat and let cool for a few minutes.
4. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and chopped parsley. Add the cooled shrimp and mix until everything is well combined.
5. Roll out your puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut them into squares or rectangles, whatever shapes you prefer!
6. Place a spoonful of the shrimp and cheese mixture in the center of each pastry square. Fold the pastry over and seal the edges with a fork to create a nice little pocket.
7. Brush the tops of the rolls with the beaten egg for that lovely golden color.
8. Place the rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are beautifully golden brown.
9. Once out of the oven, let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Substitutions & Additions

• Swap shrimp for crab or lobster for a luxurious twist.
• Add diced bell peppers or spinach to the cheese mixture for extra veggies.
• Use different cheeses like cheddar or pepper jack for a unique flavor.

Tips for Success

• Don’t overcook the shrimp; they continue to cook in the oven.
• Make sure your puff pastry is completely thawed for the best results.
• You can prepare the filling ahead of time and assemble the rolls just before baking.
