Creamy Shrimp Salad is perfect for a classy appetizer that’s simple to throw together and may be served in phyllo cups or endive leaves, with crackers, or on toast points or baguet slices.

I’m sharing my creamy shrimp dish today, that is ideal for a super fast and simple last-minute appetizer. It takes only 10 minutes to throw together and it comes off looking really sophisticated! It can even be prepared ahead if you’re planning a celebration and wish to get the appetizer ready the day before. Less stress is often smart if you’re having people over.

A few notes for this Cream Shrimp Salad

I like to use the little pink shrimp, generally known as salad shrimp, for this recipe. you may also substitute a pair of (5-6 oz) cans of cooked small shrimp. make certain to drain them very well and after pat the shrimp dry.

You can also use small and cooked frozen shrimp (such that have 70-90 count). Thaw them overnight or under cold water, pat dry, chop and proceed with the recipe.

You can chop the shrimp yourself or pulse them couple of times in your food processor.

I like to serve this shrimp dish in small phyllo shells for an appetizer, however you may also serve it with crackers, toast points, baguette slices, wonton cups or on endive leaves.

If you wish to add some toppings, fresh onions or shredded fresh parsley work nice. you may even add some additional pimientos on top. I know that crumbled, saute bacon would be delicious too!
