To make this recipe really easy for catering or parties. Buy pre-made Jalapeño Crab Cream cheese ñ just place on top of these little cooked babies -served cold ñ with a few either cilantro- parsley or chives sprinkled on top on a cracker. Cover them well till serving time ñ all that needs to be done is placing them on the crackers. U can place crackers around a platter filled with these-I realized most people skip the crackers -just eating the shrimp -this way they eat the cracker ñ shrimp - again these go further.

Yes – I know about being busy-not enough hours in the day.

Please try to post at least once or twice a week –it is always nice when others share their recipes or ideas.

Have placed creamy coleslaw on these too -Sami -which was made with some shredded cabbage- little shredded carrot ñ shredded jicima ñ use UR favorite dressing –topped with cilantro leaves or parsley chopped. Sometimes I even added chopped fine serrano’s in the cabbage.
