King prawn, garlic and cream cheese puffs

Whilst making another batch of Salmon and cream cheese puffs, I discovered a stray half packet of puff pastry in the freezer. As we always have frozen king prawns in the freezer and there was 100g of cream cheese left over, I thought I would attempt a slight variation on the theme.
