INGREDIENTS
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1/2 Cup Mayonnaise
- 4 ounces Tiny shrimp ; (1 can)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
INSTRUCTIONS
Heat cream cheese in microwave one minute. Add mayo, liquid from shrimp, Worcestershire sauce and cayenne. Beat with a fork until uniform. Add the shrimp and mix well. Serve with Sociables crackers or other lightly seasoned crackers. Also great with toasted baguette bread. Best served at room temperature.
This recipe evolved from a Justin Wilson recipe years ago...I hope you enjoy it as much as my family and friends do!
NOTES
If cayenne worries you, start with 1/4 tsp and add until the "heat" suits your taste buds. Instead of using cayenne, Louisiana Hot Sauce is a good alternative, and using up to 4 Tbsp works as well.
