SHRIMP AND CRAB TOMATO BITES

SHRIMP AND CRAB TOMATO BITES

Ingredients:

18 cocktail tomatoes
1/2 cup cooked shrimp, roughly chopped
1 can crab meat, drained
6 oz cream cheese
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp hot sauce

Directions:

Clean tomatoes.

Cut a thin portion off the bottom of the tomato so it will sit up completely without rolling.

Slice the tops from each tomato. Scoop the center out of the tomatoes using a melon baller, or, a teaspoon. Refrigerate until ready to fill.

Place the next 8 ingredients into a processor, or blender, and pulse until smooth.

Fill the tomatoes with a small spoon or piping bag. You can cut the tip off of a corner of a storage and use it to pipe the crab and shrimp mixture into the tomatoes. Chill until ready to serve. Garnish with you garnish of choice right before serving. Parsley or diced green onions are a good choice.
