Directions
- Cook the Shrimp: In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in chopped shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook until just pink, about 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Make the Creamy Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, shredded cheese, cooked shrimp, and chopped chives. Stir until smooth and evenly mixed. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
- Prep the Croissants: Carefully slice the croissants open lengthwise, without cutting all the way through. Spoon a generous amount of the shrimp filling into each croissant, spreading evenly.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Optional: Brush the tops of the croissants with beaten egg for a glossy, golden finish. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the croissants are lightly golden and crisp.
- Garnish & Serve: Remove from oven, sprinkle with extra chives or parsley, and serve warm. Perfect for brunch, a light lunch, or a special snack that feels indulgent yet approachable.
