Common Questions

| Can I substitute fresh shrimp for canned shrimp?

Yes, you can use fresh or frozen cooked shrimp. If the shrimp are on the larger side, make sure to chop them as it's easier to serve on veggies or crackers.

| Can I make this appetizer ahead of time?

Yes! You can make this appetizer up ahead of time but it only takes 3 minutes, so I usually just make when I'm ready to serve it.

If you do make this ahead of time, cover and refrigerate. Remove about 3o minutes before serving so the cream cheese is softened.

| How long will this appetizer keep?

This appetizer will keep up to 4 days.
