Very good, creamy and perfectly spreadable. The only change I made was to substitute fresh chives for the green onions. This is so light and airy after mixing with the electric beaters that when the shrimp are added, they stay whole and don't break up like they do in most spread recipes. -
OH..MY...GOD!!! I think I just consumed my weight in this exquisite stuff! My cholesterol skyrocketed, my blood sugars soared (due to the fat and carbs) from the nearly half of a baguette I managed to polish off. I agree with Theresa..this is very versatile. The only thing I did differently was to add some finely minced celery. The hardest thing about this creamy rich sinful spread is the 6 hour chilling time. I plan to send myself to the cardiac unit by eating plenty of this as often as possible. Don't miss this stupendous shrimp bbutter. You will not be disappointed. -
Yummy! This is going to the next party for sure. I chose this for the Spring 07 PAC event, it's a great recipe. Thanks Sherrybeth! -
We all enjoyed this. Easy to make, inexpensive because it uses canned shrimp, and very yummy.
