Description

These Shrimp Bites offer a delightful combination of tender seafood and sharp, savory cheese. The blend of creamy mayonnaise, rich butter, and tangy Worcestershire sauce creates a smooth, flavorful spread that clings perfectly to toasted English muffins. Ideal for parties, holiday gatherings, or a quick weeknight snack, these bites are easy to assemble ahead of time. You can freeze them for convenience and bake them fresh when needed, ensuring a warm, gooey texture every time. They strike the perfect balance between indulgent comfort food and elegant finger food.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Drain the canned shrimp or crab meat thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the drained shrimp, softened butter, mayonnaise, shredded Kraft Old English Sharp cheese, and Worcestershire sauce until well blended.
  3. Split the English muffins horizontally and lightly toast them if desired, then spread the shrimp mixture evenly over the cut sides.
  4. Place the prepared muffin halves on a cookie sheet and freeze until solid to firm up the topping.
  5. Preheat oven to 400&# 194;°F (200°C).
  6. Transfer the frozen muffin halves to a baking sheet and bake for 6 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Remove from oven, cut each half into 2 or 3 pieces, and serve immediately.

Note

Storage: After freezing initially, store the unbaked bites in a plastic bag in the freezer for up to 1 month. Bake directly from frozen.

Variations: You can substitute crab meat for shrimp for a different flavor profile. Add a pinch of paprika or old bay seasoning for extra zest.

Tip: Ensure the shrimp is well-drained to prevent the topping from becoming watery during baking.
