Crab /Shrimp Dip or Mold image

This is a recipe that my sister, Garnet has made for years. It is really good and tasty and can be easily changed from a spoonable dip to a molded salad. Cooking time is chilling time. I decided to add a note here to encourage others to try this wonderful recipe. I recently hosted a wedding shower for my future DIL. I added 2 envelopes of Knox gelatin dissolved in about 1/4 cup of water so that the consistency would be good on Crescent Rolls for sandwiches. It was the hit of the party. Everyone loved it.

I'm allergic to seafood, so I can't try this dip. But it sure looks delicious!

I'm not sure why this recipe is called a 'mold'. It's not molded in any way. It's just a delicious dip.

This dip is a great make-ahead appetizer. You can make it a day or two ahead of time and just pop it in the oven when you're ready to serve it.

This dip is a great way to use up leftover crab and shrimp. I always have some leftover seafood after a party, and this is a great way to use it up.

Overall, I thought this crab and shrimp dip was pretty good. It was easy to make and had a nice flavor. I would definitely make it again.

This dip was a bit too runny for my liking. I would recommend adding more cream cheese or sour cream to thicken it up.

I found that this dip was a little too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt than the recipe calls for.

This dip is perfect for a crowd. I made a double batch for my last party and it was all gone by the end of the night.

This dip is so easy to make! I just threw all the ingredients in a bowl and mixed them together. It was ready in no time.

I've tried many crab and shrimp dip recipes, but this one is by far the best. The combination of cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise creates a rich and flavorful base, while the crab and shrimp add a delicious seafood flavor.

This crab and shrimp dip was a hit at my last party! Everyone loved the creamy, cheesy texture and the abundance of seafood. I'll definitely be making this again.
