Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Heat the oven to 400°F.
Step 2
Stir the cheese, parsley and bacon in a medium bowl. Spoon about 2 teaspoons cheese mixture down the center of each shrimp. Fold the sides of the shrimp over the filling.
Step 3
Unfold the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry sheet crosswise into 18 (1/2-inch wide) strips. Starting at the top, wind 1 pastry strip around 1 shrimp, slightly overlapping the pastry and ending just before the tail. Repeat with the remaining pastry strips and shrimp. Place the pastries onto a baking sheet.
Step 4
Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown.
TIPS
Step 5
• Try to keep Puff Pastry from becoming too warm when working with it by only using your fingertips—the coolest part of your hands.
Step 6
• Use an egg wash to help seal filled pastries and connect Puff Pastry pieces: mix 1 egg plus 1 teaspoon water, brush between layers, then pinch or press together.
