Yield Makes 48 hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 pound large shrimp (21 to 25 per pound in shell), peeled, deveined, and coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons medium-dry Sherry
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (17 1/4-ounce) package frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
All-purpose flour for dusting
1 large egg
1 tablespoon milk
Special Equipment
parchment paper

Steps:

  • Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 400°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Heat butter in an 8-inch skillet over moderately low heat until foam subsides, then cook onion, stirring occasionally, until softened but not browned, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool.
  • When onion is cool, add shrimp, Sherry, tarragon, salt, and pepper and stir until combined well.
  • Roll out 1 sheet of pastry on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch square. Cut into thirds in one direction, then into fourths in the other direction to make 12 (3- by 4-inch) rectangles. Cut each rectangle in half diagonally to form 2 triangles. Place 1 triangle on a work surface with longest edge nearest you, then put 1 teaspoon shrimp filling in center of triangle. Bring bottom corner of shortest side up to top point, then wrap remaining corner around resulting cone. Pinch to seal, then transfer to a lined baking sheet. Form more cornets in same manner, then repeat with remaining sheet of pastry. Chill first sheet of cornets, loosely covered, while making second.
  • Whisk together egg and milk and lightly brush some of egg wash over top of pastries.
  • Bake in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until golden, 18 to 20 minutes total.
  • Cool cornets on sheets on racks 5 minutes, then gently loosen from parchment with a spatula. Serve warm.

I'm not sure how these would turn out gluten-free. I think the spring roll wrappers would be too fragile.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but these turned out soggy. I think I may have overcooked them.

These were a bit bland for my taste. I would add more seasoning next time.

I used gluten-free spring roll wrappers and they turned out great. This is a great recipe for those with dietary restrictions.

These were a bit more work than I expected, but they were worth it. They looked so impressive and everyone loved them.

I'm not a huge fan of shrimp, but these were really good. The wonton wrappers were crispy and the shrimp was cooked perfectly.

These were delicious! I used a store-bought cocktail sauce and they were still amazing.

I've made these several times and they are always a crowd-pleaser. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking.

These were a hit at my party! I used wonton wrappers instead of spring roll wrappers and they turned out great.
