Salsa Shrimp Melts

Yield: 4

Ingredients

4 ounces (125 g) frozen cooked salad or coctail shrimp, thawed

1/4 cup (50 mL) salsa

16 to 20 crackers or baked tortilla chips

1/2 cup (125 mL) shredded Canadian Monterey Jack or mozzarella cheese

Directions

1. Drain shrimp, pat dry and cut into small pieces.

2. In a bowl, combine shrimp and salsa.

3. Spoon evenly on top of crackers.

4. Place on a small baking sheet. Sprinkle cheese evenly over shrimp mixture. Back in preheated 400F (200C) oven or toaste over for about 3 minutes or until cheese is melted.

To microwave, place 4 or 5 crackers on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on medium-high (70%) power for about 30 seconds or until cheese is melted.

Tip

A smooth salsa works best for this recipe. Some of the chunky versions may have pieces that are too big to fit on the cracker.

THAT was suuuuper simple and super fast!

Let me know if you guys try these little delicious morsels out and what you think! :)
