Didn't work for me at all. I think the final result need more flavor, maybe seasoning the shrimp would help. I made that recipe for my family, nobody like it.

These were too doughy. I think less flour should be used. They taste like bisquik with a lttle shrimp aded. You can't taste the cheese at all. They are very bland.

These are just wonderful. I made them a couple of weeks ahead of time, froze them, and they were just as delicious as when I first made them. They were a big hit at my grandson''s christening. I could not find the cheese that was in the recipe so I substituted Italian cheese instead. Very happy with the results of this recipe.
