Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Beat egg and 1 Tbs. water together. Set aside. Sprinkle flour on your work surface. Unfold the pastry sheet. Cut in half, and then cut each of the halves into thin strips. Repeat for the second sheet. Wrap the pastry around each piece of shrimp, and place seam-side down on a baking sheet.
