What a great idea! I love all things that taste great, visually impress & are quick easy-fixes. Your recipe easily meets all my stds. I used Carr's Table Water Crackers because DH is salt-restricted & they don't alter the taste of their toppings w/other flavours, excess butter or seasonings. I also used Icelandic baby shrimp & 4-5 of them made nice little mounds on the slightly larger-than-normal crackers. The prep is so incredibly easy that I took all the "parts" w/us to visit my MIL & assembled the appys in her tiny work area she calls a kitchen w/just a sml fridge, sink & a few cabinets. She ate heartily & none were left. Made for ZWT-8 & thx for sharing this recipe w/us.

Great, great appy! So easy and so wonderful to eat, how could I have waited so darn long before I made these? Instead of cocktail sauce, I used the chili sauce that is hotter and has a good punch, and worked out perfectly! (I didn't have cocktail sauce) I steamed my shrimp, a la Maryland with shrimp seasoning, peeled them and softly put them on the cracker topped with cream cheese spread. (I used chive cream cheese-whipped) Great idea and great taste, so glad I nabbed these! Thank you! Made for *Think Pink* Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Fall 2008
