HAPPY NEW YEAR’S EVE!
It’s almost time to say goodbye to 2024 and welcome 2025. The beginning of the year is all about renewal. Come January 1, you might consider redecorating your entire home, getting more organized, or even preparing a list of resolutions. You may even be planning a bit of needed vacation time but to celebrate the arrival of 2025 there’s one element you should never overlook: appetizers.
Shrimp are one of my favorite seafood ingredients to cook with, they’re quick to cook, absorbent to any kind of spices and flavoring you use and they are super delicious!
Contrary to what you might think, you don’t have to spend hours in the kitchen to get appetizers that are tasty and impressive. Using just a handful of ingredients, you can whip up a batch of these puff pastry wrapped shrimp stuffed with a mix of cheese, bacon and parsley that are sure to please any palate on New Year’s Eve.

Starting at the top, wind 1 pastry strip around 1 shrimp, slightly overlapping the pastry & ending just before the tail. Repeat with the remaining pastry strips & shrimp. Place the pastries onto a baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until the pastries are golden brown.
