My youngest son, Bob, is always asked to bring this
Shrimp Ball and sauce wherever he goes so I asked him if I could use it. Not
sure where it actually came from but everyone likes it.
Bob's Shrimp Ball
Ingredients:
2 (8 oz packages of brick Philly cream cheese)
1 small onion minced
3 (4.25 oz cans baby shrimp)
Horseradish (Bob uses homemade)
Leave the cream cheese out for awhile it makes it easier to mash, it should be
semi-smooth. Drain the shrimp place in a bowl and mash, with a fork till flaky.
Peel and mince 1 small yellow onion. Combine all 3 items, blending well. Line a
round bowl with plastic wrap add mixture and chill for 2 to 4 hours.
TO SERVE: Turn bowl upside down on platter and release mixture to platter. Pour
sauce over ball serve with crackers.
Sauce:
1 oz lemon juice with some rind
1 (14 oz bottled catsup)
4 tbs. bottled horseradish ( or start with 2 tsp. homemade) to taste.
Mix well you can use any cracker like water
crackers, plain Ritz etc.
This looks pretty if you use a glass dish or
platter, place the shrimp ball in a smaller dish in the center pour the sauce
over it and place the crackers around the larger plate.
