Chile con Queso made with Shrimp!! This is a winner at our house! I sometimes use the smaller salad shrimp (purchased frozen at Sam's club) and don't chop. Add more jalapeno or hot sauce, to taste.

Tips:

Choose the right shrimp: Medium or large shrimp work best for this dip. Avoid using small shrimp, as they can get lost in the dip.
Cook the shrimp properly: Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery. Cook them just until they are opaque and pink, about 2-3 minutes.
Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will make a big difference in the flavor of the dip. Use a sharp cheddar cheese or a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese.
Add some spice: A little bit of spice can help to balance out the richness of the cheese and shrimp. Add some cayenne pepper, chili powder, or paprika to taste.
Serve with your favorite dippers: Shrimp con queso dip is delicious with tortilla chips, crackers, or vegetables.
