Creamy Shrimp Salad Croissants 🥐🍤

Flaky, creamy, and perfect for a brunch favorite that feels effortlessly special.

 Ingredients

6 large buttery croissants

1 lb small cooked shrimp, peeled and chopped

8 oz cream cheese, softened

¼ cup mayonnaise

2 tbsp sour cream

1 tbsp Dijon mustard

1 tsp lemon juice

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 tsp Old Bay seasoning

½ tsp paprika

¼ tsp black pepper

2 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped

1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)

 How to Make It:

 Prepare the Filling

In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, Dijon mustard, garlic, lemon juice, Old Bay seasoning, paprika, and black pepper until smooth for the best shrimp salad, easy brunch recipe, and creamy seafood filling.

 Add the Shrimp

Fold the chopped shrimp, parsley, and half of the chives into the creamy mixture until evenly coated for a restaurant-quality appetizer, easy seafood recipe, and crowd-pleasing favorite.

 Fill the Croissants

Slice each croissant lengthwise without cutting all the way through. Generously spoon the shrimp filling inside each croissant for the best stuffed croissants, brunch party favorite, and easy entertaining recipe.

 Warm Until Golden

Arrange the filled croissants on a baking sheet. Sprinkle with mozzarella if desired and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes until warmed through and lightly golden for the ultimate comfort food, quick baked appetizer, and family favorite meal.

 Garnish & Serve

Finish with the remaining chopped chives and serve warm with fresh fruit, salad, or soup for the perfect lunch idea, bakery-style sandwich, and special occasion brunch.
