SOUTHERN SHRIMP SALAD RITZ TOPPERS
These Southern Shrimp Salad Ritz Toppers are delicious party food has quickly become one of our favorite recipes. The kids asked us to make them twice since we brought them to an event and we like them just as much.
We made one adjustment to the original Nabisco recipe and added a half Shrimp on top of the shrimp salad and cracker. We can always use more shrimp, right?
