Follow The Directions

01

Step

Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Stir in the garlic, onion, Cajun seasoning, cayenne pepper, and red pepper flakes; cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Stir in the shrimp. Cook until they are bright pink on the outside and the meat is no longer transparent in the center. (5 minutes)

04

Step

Drain and discard any excess grease. Set aside to cool slightly. (2 minutes)

05

Step

In a large bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, liquid smoke, and lemon juice until smooth. (3 minutes)

06

Step

Stir in the cooled shrimp mixture and 1/2 cup of chopped pecans, mixing until evenly distributed. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Roll the mixture into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until slightly firm. (30 minutes)

08

Step

In a separate bowl, mix the chopped parsley with the remaining 1/2 cup of pecans. (2 minutes)

09

Step

Roll the cheese ball in the parsley-pecan mixture until completely covered. (3 minutes)

10

Step

Cover and refrigerate the cheese ball until completely firm. (2 hours)

For a smoother cheese ball, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing.
Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes to your desired level of spice.
Serve with an assortment of crackers, baguette slices, or crudités.
