Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 package (5.2 ounces) spreadable garlic & herb cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 18 fresh jumbo shrimp(about 1 pound), peeled with tail left on, deveined and butterflied
  • 1/2 of a 17.3-ounce package Pepperidge Farm® Puff Pastry Sheets(1 sheet), thawed

Directions

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F.

  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.

  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.

  4. Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown.
