MINI SHRIMP-STUFFED PROFITEROLES (CREAM PUFFS)



MINI SHRIMP-STUFFED PROFITEROLES (CREAM PUFFS) image

Categories     Sandwich     Shellfish     Tailgating     Boil

Yield 48 mini profiteroles

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 Recipe for Cream Puff Pastry for "mini" profiteroles
(such as Epicurious recipe: Cream Puffs with Vanilla Ice Cream and Chocolate Sauce) -- can be made ahead and frozen until day of tailgate or party.
1 pound large or medium shrimp, shell on
2-3 stalks celery
1/2 to 3/4 cups mayonaise
Sale & Pepper

Steps:

  • Bake "mini" sized cream puffs according to directions. Should have about 48 cream puffs. Cool completely (be sure to make a small slit or skewer a small hole in each so that steam can escape as they are cooling and they do not get soggy) then cut through the middle horizontally but not all the way through, leaving a "hinge" on one side. Store in zip lock bags if taking on the road. Cook shrimp in heavily salted, boiling water approximately 3-4 minutes or until pink & tender and just done. Strain then cool in ice bath to stop cooking process. Drain. Peel & devein. Chop shrimp into medium dice (4-6 pieces per shrimp) and place in large bowl. Cut celery into narrow julienne strips, and then cut across into very thin pieces or fine dice. Add to shrimp in bowl. Add mayonaise to shrimp, 1/4 cup at a time. Only use enough to coat shrimp and celery; not too heavy. Salt & pepper to taste. Put shrimp mixture into a large zip lock plastic bag and chill to blend flavors, at least 1/2 hour. When ready to serve, arrange mini cream puffs on a serving plate. Snip a bottom corner of the shrimp bag with scissors, to use like a pastry bag. Fill each cream puff bottom until filling peaks out a little with "lid" closed down so your guests can see what's inside, about 1-2 Tablespoons each depending on the size of your cream puffs. Serve immediately. Only fill as many as you will eat in a short time as the cream puffs can start to get soggy if they sit too long.

SHRIMP CHEESE PUFFS



Shrimp Cheese Puffs image

Shrimp is something that I don't often serve at parties simply because it costs too much. But, this recipe uses the tiny little shrimp that are usually pretty cheap. Use frozen shrimp: the canned ones taste too fishy, or if you don't like shrimp, you can leave them out.

Yield makes 28 puffs

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 pound shredded cheddar cheese
1 egg
7 slices white bread
28 cooked shrimp

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Stir together the butter and cheese in a large bowl. Separate the egg white from the yolk. Place the white in a separate bowl and stir the yolk into the cheese mixture. Beat the egg white with a whisk or fork for 2 to 3 minutes, until the egg white forms peaks that remain upright when the whisk is pulled out. Spoon the egg white into the cheese mixture and gently fold it in by running a rubber spatula or spoon down the edge to the bottom of the bowl, bringing it up the other side, and folding the cheese over the egg white. Continue this process until it is fairly well mixed. (It is better to have a few streaks of egg white than to overmix and deflate the whites and keep them from puffing up.)
  • Remove and discard the crusts from the bread (or reserve for another purpose), cut each slice into quarters, and place the pieces on a baking sheet. Place 1 shrimp on each piece of bread and top with a rounded teaspoon of the cheese mixture. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until golden brown. Place on a serving platter, and serve immediately.
