Philly Crabbies and Shrimp on a Barbie of Cream Cheese Share Tags: appetizer Crabbies are basically cheese and crab on a English Muffin, but these babies are kicked up with Philly Cream Cheese, Red Sweet Peppers, and Old Bay Seasoning. I also did a 30-second appetizer which is an 8 ounce bar of Philly covered with Bookbinder's Spicy Cocktail Sauce and then a can of shrimp on top served with crackers. I want to enjoy the party, too!
