Buttery Shrimp-Stuffed Croissants

 Buttery Shrimp-Stuffed Croissants 

Flaky, creamy, and the ultimate brunch showstopper!

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 mayo

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or gruyère

Salt & pepper, to taste

1 egg (for egg wash, optional)

Extra chives or parsley for garnish

🍽️ How to Make It:

1️⃣ Cook the Shrimp:

In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter and sauté garlic for 30 seconds. Add shrimp, salt, and pepper, and cook until just pink – this quick sauté locks in big flavor with zero fuss.

2️⃣ Make the Creamy Filling:

In a bowl, mix cream cheese, mayo, cheese, cooked shrimp, and chives. This filling is rich, savory, and bursting with buttery goodness.

3️⃣ Prep the Croissants:

Carefully slice open croissants without cutting all the way through. Stuff generously with the shrimp mixture – this is where flaky meets creamy in the best way.

4️⃣ Bake to Golden Perfection:

Optional: Brush croissants with egg wash for a glossy finish. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes, until the cheese is melty and the tops are golden brown – pure croissant glow-up energy.

5️⃣ Garnish & Serve:

Sprinkle with extra chives or parsley and serve warm. Perfect for brunch, lunch, or a fancy snack that feels like a flex.
