Directions
Christmas Cheer (Or Any Time of Year) Cheese & Shrimp Spread, This is another recipe from the Tasty Holiday Gifts cookbook SusieQusie spied for me on the bargain table at Half Price Bookstore in Dallas last month It was on sale for $1 & we had a 15% off coupon, so it was an $ 85 wonder! I modified their recipe to include shrimp + green & red peppers & then also added chili sauce for its flavor & color, but you can leave the latter out if you prefer It was pictured in the book as a molded star shape, but I do not have one & have suggested alternatives below I hope you enjoy this during the holidays, but it would be just as good during the rest of the year , I expected these to be really good, and I thought they were good But no one at my party ate any of them 🙁 I made them in tortilla pinwheels and took them to work the next day but I still have leftovers
