EASY SHRIMP DIP



Easy Shrimp Dip image

This is such a great recipe. It is easy and is so good! I get asked to make this for holiday parties. One tip - remember to take it out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before serving or it will break your crackers. You can use 2 cans of shrimp in place of the frozen salad shrimp.

Provided by Small Town Cook

Categories     < 15 Mins

Time 5m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

16 ounces cream cheese, softened
8 ounces seafood cocktail sauce
16 ounces frozen salad shrimp, thawed, rinsed, drained

Steps:

  • On a 10"-12" serving plate spread cream cheese (I sometimes use a pizza pan) .
  • Spread on cocktail sauce (you won't need the whole bottle).
  • Place shrimp on top of sauce.
  • Put them close together so shrimp covers sauce completely.
  • Cover and refrigerate.
  • Remove from fridge at least 30 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh and high-quality seafood for the best flavor and texture.
  • Use a food processor to quickly and easily chop the seafood and other ingredients.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the ingredients by hand.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dip, or it will become too runny.
  • Serve the dip with your favorite crackers, chips, or vegetables.
  • If you want a spicier dip, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
  • For a more tangy dip, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a dollop of sour cream.
  • If you want a smoother dip, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve before serving.
  • Garnish the dip with chopped fresh herbs or a sprinkle of paprika for a pop of color.
  • Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Seafood dips are a delicious and easy appetizer or snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
