  • 3 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1/4 cup seafood cocktail sauce

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Large to extra-large shrimp are a good choice for shrimp cocktail. If one size is on sale at your grocery store, purchase that one. The cream cheese mixture will fill fewer extra-large shrimp.
  • tip 2
    Look for wasabi paste in tubes in the Asian-foods section of the grocery store. Refrigerate after opening.
