Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 cups fresh spinach leaves
salt and pepper to taste
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
4 jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 ounces crabmeat, drained and flaked
ΒΌ cup bechamel sauce
1 tablespoon chopped shallots
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add spinach; cook and stir until wilted, about 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Drain off any excess liquid; set aside.
  • Lay the sheet of puff pastry out on a clean surface, and cut into 4 squares. Prick lightly with fork.
  • In a medium bowl; mix crabmeat, bechamel sauce, shallots, and tarragon until well blended.
  • Cut prawns lengthwise and open them up to form a butterfly shape. Lay one shrimp in the middle of each pastry square with open side facing up. Stuff each shrimp with an equal amount of spinach and top with a heaping tablespoon of the crab mixture. Fold over pastry to make a triangle, and press the edges to seal. Place on the baking sheet, and brush with beaten egg.
  • Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve warm.
