Plan Z Phase: This is a Z3 (ZReboot) recipe. I found a recipe very similar to this one about 15 years in an old Southern cookbook. I have made a few changes to “Zola-fy” it. This goes over BIG at any party and it’s so simple!

Ingredients:

• ½ pound of cheddar cheese (I use sharp cheddar but you can use any cheddar or even one like pepper jack for spicier version)
• 1 can of baby shrimp (4-1/2 oz)
• 1 small onion, minced (about a cup or a bit less)
• 1 cup of mayonnaise
• 1 Tbl of Worcestershire sauce
• pepper to taste

Instructions:

Grate your cheese. I use the larger holes in the grater so I get ribbons of cheese. Put those in a medium bowl. Open your shrimp. Put them in a colander and rinse them well. I get all the fishy smell off and shake off the excess water. Put those in the bowl.

Add the onion, mayo and the Worcestershire sauce along with a nice grate of pepper. Stir it all together.

Serve with crackers and/or celery sticks.

When you take your portion you can put a mound of this on your plate and re-use your cracker so you don’t consume too many carbs. Or just pile it on celery and crunch away.

This dish does well made ahead. Then take it out and put it in a pretty bowl to serve. It usually doesn’t last long once people dig into it. It can also be made a day ahead. The flavors continue to blend the longer it sits before serving.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
