Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven according to the croissant package. Seed and dice the jalepeno. Open and drain cans of crab or shrimp. (tuna and salmon might work well also)

Enjoy!
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final product. Use real butter, cream cheese, and flour.
- Keep the butter cold: Cold butter is easier to work with and will create a flakier croissant.
- Laminate the dough correctly: The laminating process is what creates the flaky layers in croissants. Be sure to roll the dough out evenly and fold it correctly.
- Proof the dough properly: Proofing allows the dough to rise and develop flavor. Be sure to proof the dough in a warm, humid place until it has doubled in size.
- Bake the croissants at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust and a light, airy interior.
