Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Start by thawing 1 pound of frozen shrimp if using; ensure they are completely defrosted. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, then chop them into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 8 ounces of cream cheese, ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and 3 cloves of freshly minced garlic. Use a hand mixer or spatula to blend the ingredients until smooth and creamy.
  3. Gently fold the chopped shrimp into the creamy mixture, adding a pinch of salt, pepper, and optional parsley for color. Mix everything well until the shrimp are evenly coated.
  4. Choose your wrapping option, either tortillas or crescent dough, and lay them flat on a clean surface. Spoon an appropriate amount of the shrimp filling onto the center of each piece.
  5. Carefully roll each tortilla or crescent dough over the shrimp filling, tucking in the sides. Place the filled roll-ups seam side down on a greased baking sheet.
  6. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once ready, bake the roll-ups in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and bubbly.
  7. After baking, allow the roll-ups to cool for a few minutes before serving. These Garlic Parmesan Shrimp Roll-Ups are delightful when served warm.
