Shrimp and Mozzarella Appetizer

My sister Michele (whose kitchen you see each week on TV) came up with this concoction years ago and we added shrimp for the segment. We love it as a snack or appetizer. It is fresh and filling when you need something to hold you till dinner. To dress it up for a party, simply thread the ingredients (minus the crackers) onto a skewer, drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. You can always add a basil leaf or fresh cucumber too.
