    (5 oz) kraft old english cheese
  • 2 tsp
    lemon juice
  • 1 tsp
    onion salt
  • 1 tsp
    garlic salt
  • 1 Tbsp
    parsley flakes
  • 1 can
    shrimp, drained and rinsed
  • 1 1/2 c
    cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 Tbsp

How To Make shrimp cheese ball

  • 1
    Mix all ingredients EXCEPT the nuts in a large mixing bowl. Refrigerate until it is cold enough to mold into a ball and hold its shape.
  • 2
    Divide into two large cheese balls or four smaller sized balls. Roll in chopped nuts until completely coated. (I am a nut fan, so I like to make sure there is a very heavy layer of nuts on each ball.)
  • 3
    Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and keep refrigerated. Serve with a variety of snack crackers.
  • 4
    Note: I use salad-size frozen shrimp, thawed, rinsed, and cut into smaller pieces, for a less fishy flavor. It does not have as long a shelf life, but I think the flavor exchange is worth it.
