Crispy Cheesy Shrimp Turnovers

Instructions

Step 1: Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat and sauté garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 2: Add shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and just cooked through, then remove from heat.

Step 3: Chop the cooked shrimp into bite-sized pieces and transfer to a bowl.

Step 4: Mix the shrimp with mozzarella, cheddar, parsley, chives, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Step 5: Roll out puff pastry sheets and cut into 4-inch squares or rectangles.

Step 6: Place 1-2 tablespoons of filling on each pastry piece, then fold diagonally to create a triangle.

Step 7: Press edges firmly with a fork to seal each turnover.

Step 8: Place turnovers on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush with egg wash.

Step 9: Bake at 400°F for 15-18 minutes until golden brown and crispy.

Step 10: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store cooled turnovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag for up to 2 months.

Reheat frozen or refrigerated turnovers on a baking sheet at 375°F for 10-12 minutes until warmed through and crispy again. For best results, avoid using the microwave as it will soften the pastry.
