Ingredients
4 large croissants (store-bought or fresh bakery)
1/2 lb shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped
1 tbsp butter
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tbsp chives, finely chopped
1/4 cup cream cheese, softened
2 tbsp mayonnaise
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or Gruyère cheese
Salt & pepper, to taste
1 egg (for egg wash – optional)
Extra chives or parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Cook the Shrimp:
In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and sauté garlic for 30 seconds. Add chopped shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook until shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Make the Creamy Filling:
In a medium bowl, combine softened cream cheese, mayo, shredded cheese, cooked shrimp, and chives. Stir until well mixed and creamy.
Prepare the Croissants:
Carefully slice croissants open lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Gently stuff each croissant with the creamy shrimp mixture.
Bake:
Optional: Brush croissants with beaten egg for a golden finish. Place on a baking sheet and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes, or until tops are golden and cheese is melted.
Garnish & Serve:
Sprinkle with fresh chives or parsley and serve warm. Great for brunch, light lunches, or appetizers!
Notes
You can swap mozzarella with Gruyère for a nuttier flavor.
Use cooked shrimp to save even more time.
Add a dash of hot sauce or cayenne for a spicy twist.
For a richer flavor, add a pinch of Old Bay or seafood seasoning to the filling.
