Ingredients
- 4 large croissants
- 200 grams raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 100 grams smoked Gouda cheese (shredded)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 small lemon
- 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Slice the croissants in half horizontally without cutting all the way through, creating a pocket for the filling. Set aside.
Step 3
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
Toss in the shrimp, then season with salt, black pepper, and paprika. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp turn pink and are opaque.
Step 6
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the shrimp and sprinkle in 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley. Stir to combine and remove from heat.
Step 7
Fill each croissant with an even layer of cooked shrimp and top with shredded smoked Gouda cheese.
Step 8
Place the stuffed croissants on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops with the remaining melted butter.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the croissants are golden and crispy.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and garnish with the remaining parsley and a light squeeze of lemon juice for freshness.
Step 11
Serve warm and enjoy your Shrimp Smoked Gouda Croissants!
