Romesco Grilled Shrimp with Whipped Herb Ricotta and Wellington Crackers

July 7, 2020

All the freshest summertime ingredients in one amazing bite. A bright and fresh Herb Whipped Ricotta spread, topped with a smoky Romesco Sauce, a Lemony Grilled Shrimp all piled on top of a fantastic Wellington Table Cracker. Enjoy these with some crisp sparkling water or a glass of white wine.

You can find more delicious recipes here at Wellington Crackers!

If you're pressed for time you can definitely take a few short cuts with this easy and delicious appetizer. For the herb ricotta just stir to combine the ingredients instead of using a food processor. And, the Romesco sauce can be blended completely raw, just skip the saute step. Either way works great!
