Zesty Summer Shrimp Spread

This is a light and easy summery appetizer. Vary the amount of hot sauce to your preference, and feel free to add or subtract various herbs (basil and parsley go well with shrimp).

1 pound uncooked large shrimp, unpeeled

½ cup Walla Walla onion, chopped

2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon

1 teaspoon chopped garlic

1 cup mayonnaise

1 cup sour cream

1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (you can vary this to you taste)

Salt and pepper

2 green onions, coarsely chopped

Bring medium saucepan of lightly salted water to boil. Add shrimp and cook just until bright pink and opaque in center, about 3 minutes. Drain; rinse under cold water. Peel and devein shrimp; and coarsely chop them.

In a food processer, combine the onions, garlic, and tarragon; pulse once or twice. Add the shrimp and pulse until the shrimp are finely chopped. Transfer the mixture to a medium bowl. Stir in the mayonnaise, sour cream, Worcestershire, hot pepper sauce and season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and chill at least 2 hours.

When ready to serve, garnish the spread with chopped green onions and serve with toast points, baguette slices, or crackers.
