Cooked shrimp become something more extraordinary when stuffed with blue cheese. The mild flavor has mass appeal.—Amy Dollimount, Glace Bay, Nova Scotia

Ingredients:
• 1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
• 2/3 cup minced fresh parsley, divided
• 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
• 1 teaspoon chopped shallot
• 1/2 teaspoon Creole mustard
• 24 cooked jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined

Directions:
1. In a small bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Beat in 1/3 cup parsley, blue cheese, shallot and mustard. Refrigerate at least 1 hour.

2. Starting with the tail end of each shrimp, make a deep slit along the deveining line to within 1/4 to 1/2 in. of the bottom. Stuff with cream cheese mixture; press remaining parsley onto cream cheese mixture.
