Shrimp & Crab Cheese Rolls

These shrimp and crab cheese rolls are flaky, savory, and packed with creamy seafood filling. Wrapped in buttery puff pastry and baked until golden, they make the ultimate appetizer for parties, holidays, or any time you want an impressive yet easy-to-make snack.

Ingredients

1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
½ cup cooked shrimp, chopped
½ cup lump crab meat, drained and checked for shells
4 oz cream cheese, softened
½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 green onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2: Make the Filling

In a medium bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, lump crab meat, cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, green onion, mayonnaise, garlic powder, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Mix until smooth and evenly blended.

Step 3: Assemble the Rolls

Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry to smooth it.
Cut the pastry into 4 equal rectangles.
Spoon the seafood mixture along one edge of each rectangle, leaving some space at the border.

Roll the pastry over the filling, sealing the edges by pressing with a fork.
Place rolls seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4: Egg Wash and Bake

Beat the egg and brush it lightly over the tops of the rolls for a glossy finish.
Bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed.
