    As you may already know, one of my favourite things to keep in the freezer is puff pastry.

    Puff pastry is absolutely versatile and you can use it in sweet or savoury dishes.

    That, and Maya Kaimal Simmer Sauces. 

    (Exhibit A: Chicken Tikka Masala; Exhibit B: Kashmiri Beef Short Rib Curry).

    For this Spicy Vindaloo Shrimp in Puff Pastry recipe, I wanted to make entertaining at home as easy as possible. 

    Using Maya Kaimal's Spicy Vindaloo Indian Simmer Sauce makes this even easier.

    Ingredients you'll need

    4 ingredients! 

    • cooked shrimp
    • puff pastry
    • chopped cilantro
    • Maya Kaimal Spicy Vindaloo Simmer Sauce

    How simple is that?

    How to make it

    The night before, defrost the frozen puff pastry in the refrigerator.

    Roll out the defrosted puff pastry on a lightly floured counter to about ⅛th" thickness.

    Use a pizza cutter or a sharp knife to cut out 24 even squares, about 2" across in diameter.

    Place each cut-out square into the well of a mini muffin tin (you may need to do this in 2 batches if you only have 1 tin). 

    Add a couple pie weights to each well prior to baking (this will ensure that the puff pastry doesn't puff up too much). 

    Bake at 375F for 15 minutes, until golden and puffy. 

    Remove from the oven and carefully take out the pie weights.

    Return to the oven for another 5 minutes (without the pie weights) for even browning.

    Remove from the oven and place the puffs onto a cooling rack.

    Fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil. Add in the frozen shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, until shrimp turns pink. Drain.

    Pour Maya Kaimal Spicy Vinadloo Simmer Sauce into small pot and bring to a simmer over low heat.

    Add a teaspoon of sauce to the puff pastry, coat the shrimp into the sauce, and place it onto the puff pastry.

    Repeat with the remaining.

    Other substitutions

    If you don't like shrimp, simply swap it out for a different protein or vegetable. Try these instead:

    • cubed tofu
    • chicken
    • beef
    • potatoes
    • scallops

    Simple & delicious

    This Spicy Vindaloo Shrimp in Puff Pastry is such an easy, yet elegant dish to make. It's the perfect appetizer for holiday entertaining.
