Tea Sandwich Saturday #20 - Cheesy Shrimp Salad

Like shrimp? Like cheese? Then I have just the tea sandwich for you this week! I looked online for a sandwich spread recipe that used chopped shrimp and cheddar cheese. When I couldn't find one, I decided to make one up myself and I was unusually happy with the result!

I made tea sandwiches using some tasty Oatmeal Bread I found at Kroger, but I also think this recipe would be good served "by the scoop" or on a bed of lettuce. Enjoy!




Cheesy Shrimp Salad


10-12 large shrimp, cooked and chopped in food processor (about 2/3 cup chopped)
2 tablespoons diced onion
2 tablespoons diced celery
1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon freshly-cracked black pepper
Dash of coarse salt
2-3 tablespoons mayonnaise

In small mixing bowl, combine all ingredients except mayonnaise and combine well. Add just enough mayonnaise to make the ingredients hold together. Yields about 1 cup of shrimp salad.

This looks delicious and so easy to make. Have some shrimp in freezer and will give it a go this week. Thanks for the recipe!

I have a similar plate that was my Mom's that was always used for birthday cakes.

Looks delicious and your sandwiches are so beautifully cut! I don't eat shellfish so I wonder how your recipe would taste if you would replace the shrimp with salmon...

If you're interested in tea, by the way, feel free to check out my blog. I have a tea-related Give Away running until today!

Blessings,

Mmmm, yummy! These look delicious! I'm lurving your Saturday posts!! And I know I have been absent from visiting your blog these past few weeks but my kids are nearly done with school so that means that I am nearly done with school! ha ha

My sister and I stayed up all night to watch all the pre wedding stuff on TV and then watched everything from start to finish 2 more times! ha ha We drank tea, RedBulls, etc. you name it! ha ha I had 4 hours sleep and then had to get to church to decorate my royal tea themed table for my women's church tea event but it was worth it! It took a couple of days to catch up on my sleep after that reminding me of the days when my children were newborns! Zzzzzzzzzz
