Ingredients
  • 500g/1.1 lb puff pastry, chilled, is far too much so we will use 250g/8.8 oz
  • 250g/8.8 oz cold puff pastry
  • 1 large egg, beaten, for brushing pastry
  • 12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined, for garnish
  • A small handful of fresh dill, chopped, for garnish
Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F or 190°C.

2. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface until it reaches a thickness of approximately 1/8 inch or 3 mm.

3. Brush the pastry with the egg, making sure to leave a 1-inch or 2.5 cm border around the edges.

4. Place a small amount of shrimp in the center of the pastry, leaving a small border around the filling.

5. Fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle or pinwheel shape, pressing the edges firmly to seal.

6. Place the pinwheels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving about 1 inch or 2.5 cm of space between each pinwheel.

7. Brush the tops of the pinwheels with the remaining egg.

8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.

9. Garnish with fresh dill and serve warm.
