LAYERED SHRIMP DIP

What makes this shrimp dip different from the others posted is the inclusion of shredded mozzarella cheese. Great with Ritz!

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 40m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 cup mayonnaise
1 (8 ounce) jar seafood cocktail sauce
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 (10 ounce) can cooked baby shrimp
1 bunch green onion, sliced
1 (2 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained

Steps:

  • Soften cream cheese and mix together with mayonnaise.
  • Spread this mixture evenly onto the bottom of the serving platter.
  • Layer with cocktail sauce, then mozzarella cheese, followed by baby shrimp, and finally green onions and black olives.
  • Chill for at least 30 minutes prior to serving.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients. Fresh shrimp, creamy cheese, and flavorful seasonings will make a big difference in the taste of your layered shrimp spread.

  • Chill the spread before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the spread to set.
  • Serve the spread with a variety of crackers, bread, or vegetables. This will allow your guests to choose their favorite way to enjoy it.

Conclusion:

Layered shrimp spread is a delicious and versatile appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It can be made ahead of time, which makes it a great option for busy hosts and hostesses. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give layered shrimp spread a try.
