Vol-au-vents with shrimp
Description
Small appetizer baskets made from puff pastry can be filled with various fillings, making the dish a wonderful addition to your holiday table. This tasty, interesting, and attractive snack is very convenient for both guests and the hostess. You can bake these baskets in advance, one or two days before the celebration, and fill them just before serving. I want to tell you about them. They can be served with tea or coffee.
