Cheese Ball

16 oz. cream cheese, softened
16 oz. package Longhorn-style cheddar cheese, grated
16 oz. shrimp, cleaned and cooked (optional)
1 medium onion, minced
4 to 5 jalapeño peppers, seeded and chopped
1/4 cup jalapeño juice (use canned peppers)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
 1/2 cup raw shelled pistachio nuts*, chopped


Mix cheese, shrimp, onion, jalapeño peppers and juice and mayonnaise together.  Form 2 balls and roll in pistachio nuts*.  Refrigerate.


(When we make this, we omit the shrimp and it tastes fine both ways).


*We've substituted walnuts and almonds in place of pistachios and it works well.
