  • 我am starting my party planning and was looking for this recipe. It is a great cocktail party recipe and have made it at least 3 times. Used advice from others and used both rice crackers and cucumbers. Have tried all varieties of rice crackers as well all work equally. I do recommend a little more wasabi paste and pipe them right before the party. I used a chilled serving platter which kept life longer. They disappear quick though so the soggy cracker problem may not even be a factor:)

  • 我make this recipe with cucumbers instead of crackers - it is nice and refreshing. I also use thawed frozen shrimp but have made a vegetarian version with roasted eggplant and red peppers. You really can really play around and have fun with this recipe.

  • Forgot to say...I cut up the shrimp into small pieces and added both them and the onions right into the cream cheese so that there was no prep once people arrived.

  • 这是那么容易,每个人都喜欢它。我added at least 3 TBSP of the wasabi paste, maybe more, and we discovered it was very good with srirachi chili hot sauce added to the top. Some people preferred with srirachi and some without. I used frozen shrimp to save on cost and quick thawed them in water. No one could tell. Served them with pita chips and wheat crackers. No one missed the rice crackers.

  • Very easy to prepare. Skip the blender & just mix. Used a lot more wasabi-approx 3 TBLS. Served as cheese ball coated with the small bay shrimp. Big hit at party!

  • 我used cucumber slices so as not to have lst minute prep before company. So easy, and so good. I would suggest increasing wasabi a little, and also sprinkling a little salt over them.

  • So simple, so elegant looking. Great both on rice crackers and on cucumber. If using rice crackers, serve immediately to avoid letting the cracker get soggy.

  • Perfect, easy, a great hit. Alternating black and sesame (white) rice crackers makes a pretty platter.

  • These were easy and good, my guests raved about them. I served them on flaky crackers since rice crackers are not my favorite. They were also great w/out the shrimp for my vegetarian son and his girlfriend.

  • Made this for a holiday party. Used other comments and piped the cheese onto both rice crackers and others with just cucumber. Made for a pretty platter and people liked the variety. YUM!

  • WOW! I had this at a party and couldn't stop eating them. I was lucky enough to help in the kitchen and put these together. We used a pastry bag to pipe the cream cheese onto the cracker. We wanted to extend the amount of shrimp, so we only used one 1/2 shrimp on each one. After a few drinks and a few shrimp crackers, I began to experiment. The crackers are good with a bit of cucumber on them We used whole slices. Also, I was just putting the filling on the cucumbers, no crackers, that was also a hit! Thank you for the great recipe. Note, if using only cucumbers, they can be made in advance since they do not get soggy.

  • Have made them several times and they are always a hit. And, yes, the crackers get soggy so make them throughout the party, but they go together so easily it's no big deal. Very yummy. In fact, I wish I had some right now...

  • These are fantastic, everyone was so impressed, but they are so simple to make. I made these as I went along since everyone said the crackers get soggy, but as long as you have your ducks in a row beforehand, you can assemble them in no time.
