- Lemon Juice (Optional): This is completely optional, but the acid flavor from the lemon will help bring out the flavor of the shrimp, herbs, and spices.
Steps to make it
Thaw the frozen puff pastry but be sure to keep it chilled at all times. Best to leave it in the refrigerator until you are ready to use it.
Add the shrimp and all the ingredients under the shrimp preparation section with the exception of the breadcrumbs into a food processor.
Once fully mixed, removed from food processor and placed in a bowl. Add breadcrumbs and combine with shrimp mixture.
Using a cast iron skillet, melt the butter and stir in the tomato paste. Add the onions, ginger, garlic cloves, and cayenne pepper and stir in all ingredients under low heat until tomato paste is fully dissolved.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet.
Cut into desired squares. Starting with two squares at a time, place a heaping spoon of the filling in the center of the square. Cover with the other square.
Use a fork to seal the edges of the square.
Bake in a preheated oven of 400 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown.
