Chef John's shrimp in a blanket are an amazing twist on the party classic, and just about as easy to make. Shrimp marinates in a savory crushed garlic concoction, then gets wrapped in crescent roll dough and baked until deep golden brown. With big garlic flavor, these are fantastic on their own, and extremely delicious served with a quick mayo-mustard sauce.
Ingredients
- 12 large shrimp , 16 to 20 per pound count
- 4 tos 6 cloves garlic , finely crushed
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons hot sauce , optional

Center the large part of a shrimp on a dough strip, along with a generous amount of marinade, or less if you prefer a lighter garlic flavor. Fold one end of strip over the shrimp, and then cover with the other end, and finish with the seam on the bottom.

Place wrapped shrimp on the prepared baking sheet; repeat with the remaining 11 shrimp and dough strips. Space shrimp a couple inches apart.

Whisk egg and water together in a small bowl; brush each wrap with egg wash. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Bake in the preheated oven until tops are very well browned, and deep golden on the bottom, about 20 minutes.
