Ingredients
Scale
Seafood Filling
- 1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
- 1 cup crab meat
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Dough
- 1 package crescent roll dough
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the crescent bombs.
- Prepare Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped cooked shrimp, crab meat, softened cream cheese, chopped green onions, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the ingredients are well blended.
- Shape Dough: Unroll the crescent roll dough and separate it into individual triangles along the perforations.
- Fill Dough: Place a spoonful of the prepared seafood mixture at the wide end of each crescent triangle.
- Roll Crescents: Starting from the wide end, roll each triangle towards the pointed end, encasing the filling inside.
- Arrange for Baking: Place each rolled crescent bomb seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until the crescent bombs are puffed and golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving to ensure the filling sets and to avoid burns.
Notes
- Ensure shrimp and crab meat are fully cooked before use.
- Can be served warm or at room temperature.
- For an extra touch, brush the crescent rolls with melted butter before baking.
- Optional: Garnish with fresh parsley or a squeeze of lemon for added freshness.
- These can be prepared ahead and baked just before serving for convenience.
