Prepare the Pastry
In a mixer, combine flour, butter and cream cheese.
Mix until dough forms a ball and cleans the sides of the bowl.
Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill for 15 minutes.
Prepare the Filling
Add butter, onion and garlic and parsley to the pan on stove top. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the shrimp, along with some salt and pepper and mix together. Saute for another 1 minute.
Combine cool water with flour until you have a smooth milky mixture.
Add the flour water mixture to the pan, stir together a few times and put aside to cool before filling cups.

Press dough on bottom and sides of each cup.
Scoop 1 tbsp of the cool shrimp filling and place inside each cup.
Bake in a 365°F preheated oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown and filling is set.
