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.
