Shrimp and Artichoke Calzones
Calzones are stuffed pizzas. These can be served as an appetizer, or on the side with some hot soup.

Thaw the puff pastry at room temperature 30 minutes, still wrapped in its paper. Preheat oven to 400°F.

Add artichoke hearts, sour cream, and Havarti cheese to shrimp mixture.
Roll pastry into 12″ square; cut into 16 (3″) squares.

Artichoke Hearts
Artichoke hearts are packaged in cans and jars. They can be found plain, packed in water, or marinated in a spicy mixture. Don't confuse the two, as the marinated artichoke hearts are quite strong. You can use either variety in this easy recipe.
