Ok so lets talk about how we actually make these super delicious garlic butter shrimp appetizers. You probably already have most of the ingredients in your kitchen. The main things you’ll need are Shrimp (obviously lol) Cream cheese and crackers.

All the ingredient measurements are listed below on the recipe card.

You’ll need a skillet, I use my cast iron skillet for almost everything but whatever you have will work just fine. A knife, cutting board, garlic mincer, a bowl and fork to mix up the cream cheese mixture and if you don’t have a garlic peeler you need one! (this is the one I have)

First things first I mix of the cream cheese mixture with garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt and green onions. Next melt the butter in the skillet, add minced garlic and cook until garlic is brown and fragrant. Add in the shrimp in a single layer so that you can get each one golden brown. I cook each side for about two minute on medium heat. Once shrimp is nice and golden I remove from heat sprinkle with a little salt and add the parmesan. The hot skillet will essential caramelize the parmesan cheese into little tasty golden things.

Now the fun part of assembling everything. I laid out all the crackers I needed and than divided the cream cheese mixture onto all of them. Once all the the mixture is on the crackers, top each one with a shrimp and make sure to sprinkle that delicious caramelized parmesan all over. Lastly garnish each appetizer with remaining green onion and serve immediately.
