Ingredients

• 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
• 1 cup cooked lump crab meat
• 1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 3 green onions, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon water

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to package instructions and roll them out slightly on a floured surface.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, chopped shrimp, softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, sliced green onions, minced garlic, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Cut each puff pastry sheet into 6 equal squares, making a total of 12 squares.

Step 5

Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the crab and shrimp mixture onto the center of each puff pastry square.

Step 6

Fold each square in half diagonally to form a triangle. Press the edges together with a fork to seal.

Step 7

In a small bowl, beat the egg with the water to create an egg wash. Brush the egg wash over the tops of the pastry triangles.

Step 8

Arrange the triangles on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and cooked through.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm as an appetizer or snack. Enjoy!
