- When selecting the cream cheese, make sure it is at room temperature for easier mixing.
- For a more flavorful dish, use Irish Mist liqueur, rather than a generic liqueur.
- Substitute Greek yogurt for the mayonnaise - Greek yogurt is a healthier alternative to mayonnaise and provides a similar creamy texture. It also adds a slight tanginess to the dish.
- Substitute cooked and peeled crawfish for the shrimp - Crawfish can provide a more intense flavor than shrimp, and can also give the dish a slightly richer texture.
Crispy Avocado Toast Replace the shrimp with 1/2 cup of diced avocado and 1/4 teaspoon of garlic powder. Toast the rye bread and spread with the avocado mixture. Sprinkle with freshly ground pepper and serve immediately.
