Directions:
- Mix together mayo, cream cheese, chives and seasonings.
- Drain water chestnuts, and spread them out on paper towelling to pat dry.
- Lay water chestnuts out on a serving platter.
- Place a dollop of the mayo mixture on top of each water chestnut.
- Place a shrimp on the mayo topping - Note: you may need to cut the shrimp in half and lay the 2 halves on the mayo mixture in order to fit them on top of the water chestnuts - I have also cut off the smaller tail part of the shrimp so just the body fits on the chestnut...save the cut off tails for another recipe.
- Cover platter and chill well before serving.
- NOTE: for a really pretty presentation (though I find this hard to maintain), STAND the shrimp up in the mayo topping, so that the shrimp body is making a U shape on top of the chestnut. I will try to get a picture of this...however, it is very hard to KEEP the shrimp in that position when you cover them/set them out to serve. As the mayo mixture losses its chill , the shrimp tend to fall over, but it does make a very pretty presentation while it lasts!
