1 cup butter
½ cup minced garlic
1 small red onion, chopped
1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning

SHRIMP CHEESE BALL

Jo Magram prepared this Daddy-O recipe for our June 2014 meeting.

Provided by Club Recipes

Categories     Cheese Appetizers

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 pinch (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, room temperature
1 can(s) (6-ounce) small cooked shrimp
1 can(s) (6-ounce) can black olives, drained and chopped
seasoning salt to taste
lemon juice to taste
3 small green onions, finely chopped
chopped nuts
chopped fresh parsley
assorted crackers

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, mash cream cheese with a fork. Add shrimp, black olives, seasoning salt, lemon juice, and green onions; stir until well blended. With your hands, form cheese mixture into a large ball. In a small bowl, combine nuts and parsley; roll cheese ball in nut mixture to coat completely. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve with assorted crackers. Yields 1 ball.
  • 2. Note: Since this was for a larger crowd, I mixed all above and spread on 1/2 cut mini sweet peppers and crackers. This was done for ease in buffet line.
  • 3. Added thought: Can add "Old Bay" seasoning and/or a little heat if you desire. Can also substitute shrimp for crab, etc.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your shrimp cheese ball.
  • Use a good quality cheese. A sharp cheddar cheese or a combination of cheddar and cream cheese will give you the best results.
  • Don't overmix the ingredients. Overmixing will make the cheese ball tough.
  • Chill the cheese ball before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to handle.
  • Serve the cheese ball with a variety of dipping sauces. Some popular options include ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, and marinara sauce.
  • Garnish the cheese ball with fresh herbs or chopped nuts. This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Shrimp cheese ball is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a crowd-pleasing snack that will be sure to impress your guests.
