Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Celery stalks
- 1 cup Cooked shrimp, finely chopped
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash the celery stalks thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Cut each celery stalk into 3-inch pieces, creating approximately 3 to 4 pieces per stalk.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped shrimp, softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, fresh dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and evenly combined.
Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill the hollow side of each celery piece with the shrimp mixture. Make sure to spread the filling evenly along the length of the celery.
Sprinkle the stuffed celery with a light dusting of paprika, if desired, for added color and flavor.
Arrange the shrimp-stuffed celery pieces on a serving platter and refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to firm up before serving.
Serve chilled as an appetizer or snack. Enjoy!
