SHRIMP CHEESE BALL

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add shrimp and cook, stirring frequently, for approximately 4 minutes, or until shrimp have just turned pink and are opaque.
• Drain off juices (if any) and transfer to a plate to cool.
• Chop shrimp into about 1/4-inch pieces.
• In a large mixing bowl, stir together chopped shrimp, cream cheese, onion, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, hot sauce, garlic powder, salt and Old Bay Seasoning using a rubber spatula until well-combined.
• Transfer cheese mixture to a plate and form into a ball.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm. Remove from refrigerator and coat with chopped pecans 10 minutes before serving (allowing time to slightly soften so it spreads easier).
• Serve with crackers.
