Shrimp Stuffed Crab Claws

I just made this yummy new appetizer. Last week I made this dish and brought it to a birthday party at my parents house. Everyone loved it. It was gone in second. I owed it to Ms. Chom Chom. Her recipe was so easy to follow. Below is the link to her recipe.

Four pounds of shrimp, I can make about 32 shrimp stuffed crab claws.


After you stuffed the crab claws into the shrimp paste, you want to steam them for 3 minutes so they stick together.

Then they can be fried in canola oil.

Pat them dry on a paper towel.

Check them out.
The whole platter of shrimp stuffed Crab claws. Yummy!
