SHRIMP AND HERBED CHEESE WRAPPED
IN PASTRY
 
Here's a quick appetizer you can have ready in 15 minutes.

1 (4 oz.) pkg. refrigerated crescent roll dough
1 container (about 4 oz.) garlic & herbed-seasoned cheese such as Rondele or Boursin
2 oz. tiny cooked & peeled shrimp or 1 (4 1/2 oz.) can shrimp, drained
1 each red delicious apple and firm, ripe pear, cored & cut into thin wedges

Open package of dough and unroll on a baking sheet. Separate the 2 rectangles of dough (do not separate triangles) and lay side by side just barely overlapping; gently press edges together. Scoop cheese in a pile in the center of the dough then press shrimp over and into cheese. Bring the 4 corners of dough together on top; pinch edges together to seal package. Bake in a 425 degree oven until dough is nicely browned, about 12 minutes. Transfer to a platter and surround with apple and pear wedges. To eat, cut into cheese package with a knife and scoop mixture onto pieces of fruit. Makes 4 appetizers.
