Cheesy Baked Tiger Shrimp Recipe was first introduced to me by a friend, years ago. She served us a fancy dinner with these shrimp. I’ve made these many times since but wasn’t sharing the recipe since it’s too simple.
I am not a huge fan of shrimps in general, but I don’t mind splurging on these tiger shrimp, because they remind me of mini lobsters. Really meaty and just perfect to be served as appetizers.
Tiger shrimp are more expensive than your normal shrimp, but you will love them, they are absolutely delicious.

Instructions
- Prepare ingredients for the recipe. Wash shrimps under cold water and wipe dry with a paper towel.

- Apply a thin layer of mayonnaise on the inside of the shrimp, season them with garlic salt and top them off with cheese.

I used Mexican cheese but cheddar would work.
