Preparation

Step 1

Heat the oven to 400 degrees.

Stir the cheese, parsley, and bacon in a medium bowl. Spoon about 2 teaspoons cheese mixture down the center of each shrimp. Fold the sides of the shrimp over the filling.

Unfold the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Cut the pastry sheet crosswise into 18 ( 1 1/2 inch wide) strips. Starting at the top, wind 1 pastry strip around one shrimp, slightly overlapping the pastry and ending just before the tail. Repeat with the remaining shrimp and strips. Place the pastries onto a baking sheet.

Bake for 15 minutes, or until the pastries are golden brown.
