Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 c hot water
1/2 c butter
1 c flour
4 eggs
1/2 tsp salt
4 can(s) 6 oz size, baby shrimp
1-1/2 c chopped celery
3 eggs, hard boiled
3 tsp onion salt
1 tsp black pepper
2 pkg 8 oz, cream cheese
3/4 c mayonaise

Steps:

1. Put hot water, butter, and salt in sauce pan and bring to a boil. Add the flour and stir well until the mixture starts to pull away from the sides of the pan. Using a mixer, then add your eggs one at a time, beating after each egg very well. This step is very important. Drop by teaspoon onto baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes at 425º. Reduce oven temperature to 400º and bake for another 23 minutes. They should be slightly browned and this time could vary so keep checking them. Remove from oven and cool.
2. Mix all of the remaining ingredients together for the filling. Split the cream puffs when they are cool and fill with the filling mixture. Filling mixture keeps well in the fridge for several days.

Tips:

Use cold butter and cream cheese for the dough. This will help the dough stay flaky and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven.
Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out. This will help the dough be easier to work with.
Roll the dough out to a thickness of 1/8 inch. If the dough is too thick, the cream puffs will be tough.
Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into circles. This will help prevent the dough from tearing.
Bake the cream puffs at a high temperature for the first 10 minutes. This will help them rise quickly.
Reduce the oven temperature after 10 minutes and continue baking until the cream puffs are golden brown.
Cool the cream puffs completely before filling them.
For the filling, use a combination of heavy cream, milk, sugar, cornstarch, eggs, and vanilla extract. This will create a smooth and creamy filling.
If you want a chocolate filling, add melted chocolate to the cream mixture.
If you want a fruit filling, add your favorite fruits to the cream mixture.
Pipe the filling into the cream puffs using a pastry bag fitted with a star tip.
Serve the cream puffs immediately or store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
