Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups small shrimp
• 1 cup celery, finely chopped
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 cup grated cheese (for topping)
• 6 English muffins, split

Instructions:

1. Preparation: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Mixing the Ingredients:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine the small shrimp, finely chopped celery, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined. This mixture forms the savory topping for your English muffins.

3. Assembly:

   • Take each English muffin half and spread a generous amount (about 2 tablespoons) of the shrimp and celery mixture on top. Ensure the mixture is evenly distributed across all the muffin halves.

4. Baking:

   • Place the prepared English muffin halves on a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together and the muffins to toast slightly.

5. Adding Cheese:

   • After 10 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Top each muffin half with a sprinkle of grated cheese.

6. Final Baking:

   • Return the baking sheet to the oven for just a few minutes, until the cheese melts and turns slightly golden brown. Be careful not to overcook; you want the cheese to be melted and bubbly.

7. Serving:

   • Once done, remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. These English muffin delights are best enjoyed warm, straight from the oven.

Recipe Notes:

• Variations: Feel free to customize this recipe to your taste. You can add a dash of hot sauce or paprika to the shrimp mixture for a spicy kick. Alternatively, you can use different types of cheese for the topping, such as cheddar or mozzarella.

• Make-Ahead Option: If you want to prepare these ahead of time, you can assemble the muffins with the shrimp mixture and cheese topping, then cover and refrigerate. When ready to serve, simply bake as instructed.

• Storage: These English muffins are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain their crispiness.

• Pairing Suggestions: Serve these English muffins with a side of fresh fruit salad or a light green salad for a complete and satisfying breakfast or brunch.
