Note

For a milder flavor, reduce the amount of horseradish or omit it entirely.

This spread can be served hot from the oven or chilled and served cold.

If using as a stuffing, fill halved cherry tomatoes or mushroom caps just before serving to prevent sogginess.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat gently in the microwave if serving cold leftovers warm.

Adjust salt to taste, especially if using pre-seasoned shrimp.
