How To Make shrimp butter (cheese ball)
-
1Mix together one stick butter and 8 oz. cream cheese until creamy. Then add 3 Tablespoons lemon juice (fresh), mayonnaise, finely chopped onions, and a dash of garlic powder/salt, salt & pepper.
-
2Drain and rinse shrimp from 4 oz. can. Pat dry with paper towel. Mash slightly. Mix with fork to fold into the above mixture. Done...
-
3To shape into a cheese ball, put the softened shrimp butter mixture into a small size bowl lined with a large piece of Saran Wrap (should overlap the sides of the bowl). Overlapped sides should be long enough to cover the bowl - or just cover the bowl. Refrigerate overnight to get firm.
-
4To serve, uncover the bowl & "turn upside down" onto a plate. Remove the Saran Wrap from the hardened shrimp butter to shape as a cheese ball. I smooth out creases from Saran Wrap with a damp butter knife for a nice presentation as shown in the photo. SERVE WITH CRACKERS of your choice.
-
5OPTIONAL: Serve chilled Shrimp Butter in a small bowl - Eliminate above steps to shape into a "cheese ball."
