Cold Shrimp Roquefort

These are pretty impressive.  You could serve them on lettuce for a first course.

Ingredients:

  • 20 large shrimp
  • 5 oz Roquefort cheese
  • 4 oz cream, cheese
  • 1 tsp scallions, chopped very fine (or green onions)
  • 1 Tab Cognac or brandy
  • parsley chopped

Directions:

  1. Steam shrimp until just pink.
  2. Shell and devein.
  3. Starting at the tail, cut a deep slit down the back but not all the way through to make a pocket to hold the Roquefort mixture.
  4. Mix the Roquefort cheese, cream cheese, scallions and Cognac or brandy (a small food processor does this easily.)
  5. Stuff the slit in each shrimp, using a large frosting tip.
  6. Sprinkle the chopped parsley on the stuffed portion of the shrimp
  7. Chill.

Can be prepared ahead. Will keep overnight refrigerated.

Serves: 20 Pieces
