1 (6 oz.) can tuna, drained
1 med. onion, chopped fine (or less)
1/2 c. chopped pecans or walnuts
1 (8 oz.) pkg. cream cheese
1 tsp. Tabasco (or more)
Baby shrimp (optional)

Mix very well, form into mound and cover with baby shrimp, if desired. An electric hand mixer seems to work well for blending the ingredients. This is a tasty spread!
