Happy Thanksgiving! Here's a recipe that has been a staple of family gatherings since the '70s. It's an appetizer, Shrimp Toast, but it's not the same as the Shrimp Toast you'd get from a Chinese restaurant. I'm trying to put this recipe to "paper" since it's just in my mom's (and previously her mom's) head, but this is generally what I do:
2 jars Kraft Old English spread cheese
1 tablespoon Mayo
1/2 stick of butter, softened
2 cans baby shrimp
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Garlic powder to taste. 1 tbsp at least. I put 2 tbsp, but I'd wear a garlic oxygen mask if I could.
Put all in a large bowl and mix really well, it should only be slightly lumpy, but also not runny. Cut one pack of English muffins into quarters and spread on the quartered pieces. Pre-heat broiler, then broil until firm and brown. Yeah, it would be nice if I could put "heat to X temp and bake for Y minutes" right here, but it's one of those "it's all up here" family recipe things, even getting this many details was like pulling teeth. But the finished product should look something like this:
