Ingredients
 

  • 30 medium shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 pinch kosher salt
  • 1 pinch fresh cracked pepper
  • ½ tsp Old Bay seasoning
  • 2 pkgs frozen phyllo shells 15 shells each
  • 4 oz cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup ranch dressing
  • 2 Tbsp buffalo wing sauce
  • 1 cup shredded pepper jack cheese
  • ¼ cup crushed nacho cheese-flavored Doritos chips
  • 1 celery rib very finely diced

Instructions
 

  • Heat oven broiler on high heat.
  • On a rimmed bake sheet, toss the shrimp in the olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, and Old Bay.
  • Spread the shrimp in a single layer. Broil 30 seconds, flip, and broil another 30 seconds or until just cooked through. Toss the shrimp with the buffalo sauce.
  • Set oven temperature to 350°F.
  • In a bowl, combine the cream cheese and ranch dressing.
  • Gently spoon or pipe ~1 teaspoon cream cheese mixture into each phyllo cup on a rimmed bake sheet. Top the cream cheese layer with a shrimp. Top each shrimp with some cheese (cheese will spill onto the bake sheet - that's unavoidable).
  • Bake the filled phyllo cups for 8-10 minutes until cheese is melted and cups are heated through and a little bubbly.
  • Remove from the oven and immediately top each with a sprinkling of celery and crushed Doritos (these will also get all over the bake sheet too). Serve warm. Yield: 30 appetizers.
