Barbara's Notes + Tips
  • It will be easier to assemble if you let the cream cheese come to room temperature. 
  • Remove from the refrigerator 15 minutes before ready to serve so that the cream cheese can soften. 
  • You can use any size shrimp for this recipe, just chop it into small bite size pieces.
