- Shrimp Selection - Use fresh or frozen cooked shrimp for convenience. Choose medium-sized shrimp that are peeled, deveined, and chopped for easier incorporation into the filling.
- Cream Cheese Mixture - Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing. Adjust the amount of mayonnaise for desired creaminess and consistency. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasonings according to personal preference.
