White sauce: 1 pint milk, 4 tb butter, 4 tb flour, mixed and set aside
Pepperidge Farm dressing?
3 hard boiled eggs, chopped
4 tb sherry
Minced onions to taste
Slivered almonds
1/3 c pimento
1/2 lb grated sharp cheddar cheese
Instructions
Mix everything together except the cheese. Put in casserole and top with 1/2 the cheese. Mix Pepperidge Farms dressing with melted butter and spread over the top. Top with rest of cheese. Bake 350 for half hour.
Serve with Tostitos Cantina chips or your favorite tortilla chip
Instructions
Sear or partially cook meats and onions.
Finely dice remaining ingredients.
Add juices to taste.
The longer it sits in the fridge the better.
Notes
I derived this from traditional Sonoran Arizona ceviche as well as the kinds I have tried in Costa Rica and the Philippines. It is much sweeter and less fishy tomato-ish than traditional ceviches.
My variation on a sweet bacon-wrapped toothpick snack. Superbowl and potluck favorite. Very midwest style dish.
Scale
Ingredients
15 colossal shrimp, uncooked, and peeled
15 pieces of thin bacon – I use the Oscar Meyer pre-cooked kind
1–2 cans Water chesnuts *diced if using the shrimp, whole if substituting shrimp.
3–4 peppers sliced long and thin (the rainbow ones, or jalepeno or banana)
1, 8 oz package of cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup worcestershire
dash of liquid smoke
toothpicks
Fresh herbs, garlic, scallions, crushed pineapple can optional
Instructions
Pre- make the stuffing and set aside: Cream cheese, herb mix, and diced water chestnuts.
Carefully butterfly shrimp to make it lay flat.
Place a strip of peppers in the shrimp.
Make a mini log of cream cheese mix and place in shrimp.
Roll up with a bacon strip and secure with a toothpick. Place them in a glass casserole.
Make a glaze of equal parts ketchup, Worcestershire, and brown sugar in a pot and let it simmer down.
Pour 1/2 over the shrimp and add pineapples if you want. Bake 20 minutes at 300.
Pour remainder of sauce over when serving.
Notes
A similar recipe I’ve had since childhood. Most people use just whole chestnuts wrapped in bacon with the sauce, I fancy it up a bit. Works great on a smoker.

Notes
I had shrimp eggrolls a few times at Steamers Restaurant in the Biltmore. I would go there, alone, just to pay $15 for one order of them. Then the place closed and I was doomed. This took me years to come close to the taste I remember!
