Instructions:
-
Begin by gathering all your ingredients. Ensure the shrimp is cleaned and deveined, and the hard-boiled egg is peeled.
-
In a food processor, combine the medium shrimp, chili sauce, hard-boiled egg, fat-free cream cheese, celery, onions, and Worcestershire sauce. 🦐🌶️🥚🧀🥬🧅
-
Pulse the ingredients together until they are finely chopped, but be cautious not to turn them into a paste. The mixture should maintain some texture and chunkiness. This step ensures a delightful blend of flavors and textures in your Cocktail Shrimp Balls. 💥
-
Once the mixture is ready, it’s time to form it into balls. Using your hands, scoop up portions of the mixture and roll them into evenly sized balls. 🏐
-
To add a burst of freshness and color, roll each shrimp ball in finely chopped fresh parsley. This not only enhances the appearance but also adds a hint of herbaceous flavor. 🌿
-
Prepare a nonstick cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Arrange the parsley-coated shrimp balls on the sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced and not touching each other. 🍪
-
Cover the cookie sheet with plastic wrap or another layer of wax paper to prevent the shrimp balls from drying out, then transfer them to the refrigerator. Allow the Cocktail Shrimp Balls to chill overnight or for at least a few hours. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld together and ensures the perfect texture when served. ❄️
-
When ready to serve, arrange the Cocktail Shrimp Balls on a decorative platter and watch as your guests delight in this irresistible appetizer. Enjoy the refreshing combination of flavors and the satisfying crunch with every bite. 🍤🥂
These Cocktail Shrimp Balls are not only easy to prepare but also incredibly delicious, making them a must-have for any occasion. Prepare them ahead of time, and you’ll have more time to enjoy the company of your guests. Cheers to good food and great company! 🎉🥳
