By dmscott52

Ingredients

• 2-3 large loaves white sandwich bread, crusts removed.
• 1 cup melted butter
• 3 T. butter
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 8 ounces chopped cooked shrimp
• 1 T. minced green onions
• 1 T. lemon juice
• 2 T. chopped parsley
• 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• paprika

Preparation

Step 1

For cups: Cut a 3-inch round from each slice of bread. Using a rolling pin, roll each slice flat and brush both sides with melted butter. Press buttered slices into 2-inch muffin pans. Bake at 450 degrees for 5 minutes. Remove from oven.

For filling: Melt 3 T. butter in medium saucepan. Add flour to butter and cook, stirring until bubbly. Stir in milk and cook, stirring, until thick.
Stir in cheese, shrimp, onion, lemon juice, parsley, mustard and salt. Fill each cup with 1 T. of the filling. Sprinkle with paprika.

Arrange the filled cups on baking sheets and freeze until firm. After cups are frozen, bag them in freezer-weight plastic bags.

To serve: Bake frozen cups at 400 degrees 15-20 minutes, until cheese bubbles.
