Crab And Shrimp Croissants Recipes

ACADIAN-STYLE CRAB SALAD ON CROISSANTS

Steps:

• Run your fingers through the crab meat to remove any bits of shell. In a bowl, combine the celery, onion, mayo, chili, hot sauce and Worcestershire. Add the crab meat to the bowl and mix with a fork. Season with salt and pepper, to your taste. Pile salad on lettuce leaves in croissants. Cut each croissant in thirds on angles, following the shape of the pastry. Arrange sandwiches on a plate and serve.

MINI CRAB CROISSANTS

Steps:

• Split the croissants open sandwich-style but not all the way, so they have a hinge at the back. Spoon in 1 tablespoon of seafood salad, then tuck 1 or 2 baby spinach leaves underneath. Insert 2 toothpicks into the top middle of each croissant and press a caper onto the point of each toothpick for crab eyes. To make crab claws, cut the grape tomatoes open from bottom end to stem end but not all the way, leaving them hinged. Stick a toothpick into each tomato at the stem end, then insert a toothpick with a tomato into the point of each end of each croissant. Arrange them on a serving plate.

• Mix onions and next 5 ingredients in large bowl to blend. Stir in shrimp, cooking liquid and crabmeat. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and chill. Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly brush oil over both sides of each bread slice. Arrange bread on baking sheet in single layer. Bake until bread is crisp and golden, about 4 minutes per side. Cool. (Seafood salad and toasts can be made 1 day ahead. Keep seafood salad chilled. Store toasts airtight at room temperature.)
• Spread seafood salad evenly over toasts. Arrange on serving dish. Garnish with lemon wedges and serve.

CRAB AND CREAM CHEESE CROISSANTS

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven according to the croissant package. Seed and dice the jalepeno. Open and drain cans of crab or shrimp. (tuna and salmon might work well also)

• 3. Fill the croissants and roll. Place them on a baking sheet and bake according to package directions. I hope these are as successful for you as they have been for me.
