Shrimp and puff pastry shells???

[pdswife]

I have a pound of shrimp (raw)
and some frozen puff pastry shells.


Does anyone have a recipe that uses both of those item?

You want to make whats called a vol au vent. Look at this recipe no need to get the crab just use more shrimp.

How about "Shrimp Newburg" instead of Lobster Newburg?

I'm picturing the shrimp in a creamy sauce with mushrooms and.... I dunno what else.

Shrimp ala King?!

Not an actual recipe, but it's funny you mentioned this because I was looking at the puff pastry shells in my grocery store and the picture on it showed a shrimp, placed into the puff shell. I also saw a recipe for shrimp marinated in a chipolte pepper and adobe sauce (in a can). So you marinate the shrimp for a couple hours ish, and then grill them or broil, and stuff one or two into the puff pastry shell for an appetizer. Spicy, yet the puff pastry cools it down a bit.

Shrimp Salad is also lovely in baked puff pastry shells
