The big game is just a few days away, so I thought I'd share my recipe for one of the easiest and tastiest Super Bowl snacks out there: Frank's Firecracker Shrimp Bites!
I made these last weekend and knew they were a hit when my husband said, "Yum! I could eat these ALL DAY!"
Frank’s Firecracker Shrimp Bites
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
6 tablespoons Frank’s Red Hot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce, divided
36 raw shrimp, peeled, deveined, tail-off
4 bunches baby bok choy
6 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce (In the Asian foods section of any grocery store)
1 tablespoon lemon juice
36 buttery crackers
Kosher salt to taste
* Additional Frank’s Red Hot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce if desired
In a large bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil and 3 tablespoons of the Frank’s Red Hot Sauce. Add shrimp and toss to coat. Refrigerate until ready to cook, mixing occasionally.
Remove the leaves from the bok choy stalks. Mince the stalks and set aside. Thinly slice the leaves into ribbons. Set aside.
In a food processor, whip together the cream cheese, hoisin sauce, lemon juice and remaining 3 tablespoons of the Frank’s Red Hot Sauce. Add the minced bok choy stalks and pulse to combine. Scoop into a small zip-top bag and gently push mixture toward one corner. Use scissors to snip a small piece of the corner from the bag.
To assemble, squeeze about a tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto the center of each cracker. Cook the shrimp on high heat for 2-3 minutes or until just opaque, stirring frequently. Add salt to taste. Place one shrimp on each cracker, then top with a sprinkling of the bok choy ribbons. Serve.
* Sprinkle with additional Frank’s Red Hot if desired.
