preparation
Sauté green pepper and onion in butter until tender. Stir in flour and cook 1 minute longer, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and gradually blend cream and sherry. Return to heat and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Remove from heat and stir in shrimp, pimiento and salt. Set aside to cool completely. Thaw pastry 20 minutes; unfold. Roll each sheet on a lightly floured surface to a 12-inch square; cut each into sixteen 3-inch squares. Top each square with some of the shrimp mixture. Brush edges of pastry with egg mixture; fold in half to form triangles. Press edges together with the tines of a fork. Brush lightly with more egg and transfer to ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 400° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown and puffed. |
