TERRY THOMPSON • Albuquerque, New Mexico
Here in the Southwest, anything with green chilies is
sure to please. And these shrimp-and-cheese appetizers
are no exception. You can alter the amount of chilies
according to your taste.

Ingredients

• FILLING:
• 18 slices white bread
• Refrigerated butter-flavored spray
• 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella
• cheese
• 1/4 cup canned chopped green chilies
• 1/4 cup diced cooked shrimp
• 1 green onion, thinly sliced
• 18 whole small cooked shrimp
• Paprika

Preparation

Step 1

1. With a rolling pin, flatten bread to 1/8-in. thickness. Usinga 2-1/2-in. biscuit cutter, cut out a circle from each slice. (Save scraps for another use.) Spritz both sides of circles with butter-flavored spray. Press into ungreased
miniature muffin cups. Bake at 400° for 8-10 minutes or
until lightly browned.

2. In a large bowl, combine the cheese, chilies, diced shrimp
and onion; spoon into cups. Top with whole shrimp and
paprika. Broil 5-6 in. from the heat for 2-4 minutes or until
golden brown. Serve immediately
