Ingredients
  

  • 1 package crescent roll dough 8 oz package
  • 1 cup cooked shrimp chopped
  • 1 cup crab meat drained well
  • 0.5 cup cream cheese softened to room temperature
  • 0.25 cup green onions chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh preferred
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • mixing bowl
  • Spatula or spoon
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped shrimp, crab meat, green onions, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  3. Unroll the crescent roll dough and carefully separate into individual triangles along the perforated lines.
  4. Place about one tablespoon of the seafood filling on the wide end of each dough triangle.
  5. Roll each triangle from the wide end toward the point, tucking the sides slightly as you roll to seal in the filling.
  6. Arrange the rolled crescents on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
  8. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving to allow the filling to set slightly.

Notes

For best results, drain shrimp and crab meat thoroughly before mixing. Cold dough holds its shape better - chill briefly if needed. Can be frozen unbaked and baked directly from frozen, adding 3-4 minutes to cook time. Brush tops with melted butter before baking for extra golden color.
