My family is proud to produce celery on the beautiful island of Maui. As you can guess, we take a lot of ribbing for working so hard in a tropical paradise. This appealing appetizer has a creamy filling that blends nicely with crunchy, fresh celery.—Shirley Watanabe, Kula, Hawaii Ingredients:
1 bunch celery, separated into ribs |
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened |
2 tablespoons mayonnaise |
1 can (4 ounces) tiny shrimp, rinsed and finely chopped |
1 tablespoon each finely chopped onion, green pepper and pimiento-stuffed olives |
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley |
1 to 2 drops hot pepper sauce |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1/8 teaspoon worcestershire sauce |
Directions:
1. Cut celery ribs into 2-in. pieces. Finely chop one piece; set aside.
2. In a bowl, beat cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth. Stir in the remaining ingredients and reserved chopped celery. Stuff into celery ribs. Refrigerate until serving. Yield: about 3 dozen appetizers.
