Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounce cream cheese room temperature
  • 6 ounces cocktail sauce most bottles are 12 oz., so half of that
  • 4 ounce canned small shrimp drained and rinsed
  • ½ Tbsp. butter
  • Old Bay Seasoning desired amount
  • Your choice of crackers

Instructions
 

  • Open can of shrimp and pour into a colander. Run cold water over shrimp to rinse and allow to drain well. Pat dry if needed.
  • Place room temperature block of cream cheese on a serving platter. Pour cocktail sauce over cream cheese.
  • In a warm saute pan, gently stir the shrimp and old bay seasoning for just 1-2 minutes. Be very gentle as the shrimp can break apart easily. Spoon the shrimp on top of cocktail sauce. The cocktail sauce and shrimp will cascade over the side of the cream cheese.
  • Place crackers around edge of platter. Serve by spreading on crackers.
