CREAM CHEESE & SEAFOOD SPREAD



Cream Cheese & Seafood Spread image

This is one of those recipes that when served to guests you had better have lots of it. It is a real crowd pleaser that your guests just can't stop eating. The beauty of it is that it is so simple to make with only three ingredients. You can double the recipe but use two plates instead of one. You will simply have two appetizers. If you take this appetizer to a potluck or party, spread the mixture on a sturdy plastic or styrofoam plate and you won't have to worry about getting your plate back. My personal preference to accompany this spread is Ritz or rice crackers but use what you like, you won't be disappointed.
