Using three ingredients I can whip out an appetizer that presents well and tastes scrumptious. If you prefer something other than shrimp, I've listed several other choices to use to top the cream cheese.
Drain the can of shrimp. Place the block of cream cheese in the center of an appropriate serving plate. Pour the cocktail sauce over the cream cheese. Top with the shrimp.
If you prefer, you may use chutney, picante sauce, taco sauce, caviar, or bacon and green onion instead of the shrimp.

I have used this recipe with the Cocktail Sauce for years. I find it better to cut the cream cheese in half length wise, add cocktail to the bottom layer and put top half back on, then put cocktail sauce on the top layer.
I will try this one for sure. Eating the way I have to, shrimp is one of my "can do's" ! This sounds easy and others would love. Going for low fat sure that doesn't change taste.
Another version of the "cream cheese log" recipe is to lightly brown raw sesame seeds in a frying pan (no need for oil) and while they are still warm, press block of cream cheese down into them to cover all sides of the block well. This can be done ahead and wrapped in saran wrap and refrigerated if need be.
