Method

  1. To make the Shrimp in Puff Pastry, start by cleaning the shrimp. Rinse the tails under running water and pat them dry with a little paper towel.
  2. Unroll the puff pastry on the work surface, cut it lengthwise into strips about 2 centimeters (3/4 inch) wide and wrap them around the shrimp tails, sealing them well so they don’t open during baking.
  3. Place the shrimp tails on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them well apart, and bake in a preheated oven at 200 °C (400 °F) for about 12-15 minutes. Take them out of the oven and serve your Shrimp in Puff Pastry right away, piping hot. Finally, remember to download our App with exclusive content and fewer ads!
