These satisfy so many cravings! Crunchy, smoothy melty cheese, the kick of jalapeno, shrimp....all rolled into one tasty little deep-fried appetizer nugget. I'm not big on cocktail parties, but these would be perfect for one. Read more We just do them for football games in front of the tv with friends. Enjoy! From the famous Trader Vic's. See less
