Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, whisk together cream cheese, soy sauce, ginger, and garlic until smooth; set aside.

Divide the dough into 8 triangles. Cut each triangle in half lengthwise to make 16 triangles. Spread about 1/2 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture on each triangle.
Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels. Place 1 shrimp on the shortest side of each triangle and roll, starting from the shortest side, toward the pointy end.
Place the sesame seeds in a small bowl. Gently press the top of each puff pastry onto the seeds; place the puff pastry on a baking sheet.
Bake for 16-21 minutes or until dark golden brown.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat the apricot jam, uncovered, for about 20 seconds, or until runny. Gently spread 1 teaspoon of the melted jam onto each puff pastry. Let cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm.
