These came out very soggy and there was way too much butter. I think they would taste okay if you cut out a lot of the butter.

Wow were these rich! We made them 2 times, with small shrimp and with canned crab. Both were magnificent! Tips for success: Use half of the butter called for: can be a bit greasy, Use english muffins: bagels dont work as well, and Kraft Old English cheese spread: Velveeta won't cut it. They freeze well and are soooo good!

For simple ingredients like these, it is surprisingly good. I used frozen small cooked shrimp, and put a little bit of shredded sharp cheddar on top. Everyone liked them, they were the first thing to go at the party.

O.K., I'm odd man out here. I found Old English cheese spread. I think you can get same results from diced Velveeta, a splash of condensed milk and several handfuls of salt. The super saltiness of the cheese spread is what turned me off. I read the nutrient info and that little bottle of salt spread contains 88% of daily sodium value. I place strict limits on my salt intake, so I assume previous reviewers are more sodium tolerant than I. If you want to dress up and shrimp, I urge you to try the Mexican Shrimp Coctail on this site.

This is a variation of an old recipe of my Mom's and a real crowd pleaser. My Mom's recipe calls for crab instead of shrimp. As another reviewer mentioned it is imperative you use "Kraft Old English" cheese spread in the jar. It is getting harder and harder to find these days.

These have been such a big hit everytime I've made them. I also make them with crab meat in place of the shrimp. The only complaint I get occasionally is that they are pretty salty, but that's what a lot of people love about them. Regardless, they are so easy because the freeze so well. I slice them into quarters with a pizza cutter prior to freezing and they can go straight from the freezer to the oven to the serving platter.

Like others reviews, it was awesome. I added the shredded cheddar, cut 2tbsp less from the butter, and served it to my husband. Ate it up quick! Easy to make, and a NEW TIP...FREEZE IN THE BOX English Muffins come in which makes it nice and uniform and easy to pull out as you want them.

I'm editing my review because I served this at Thanksgiving today and the new adjustments I made were a huge hit for my relatives who have had this before. Big improvement for a little work, get a handful of medium frozen shrimp, boil them in lightly salted water, chop them and use them instead of those babies out of the can. I used 5oz of pub cheese because I didn't have the Old English and it was just as good. Lastly, bake them on the halved english muffins and cut them into wedges after they've rested for a couple of minutes. This allows all of that cheese and butter to settle into the nooks and cranies before you cut into them let it all melt out onto the tray all run out. YUM!

You HAVE TO use the Old English cheese spread for these. I also make these omitting the shrimp and using a can of "picked-through" flaked crab meat. DELISHIOUS!!!!
