No-Brainer Shrimp Spread image

A variation of the ultimate lazy appetizer recipe from the 80's, when you threw shrimp over a block of cream cheese, poured cocktail sauce over it, and served with crackers. I do it this way for a bigger group and also because it's easier to spread on crackers. Note: Many times I use 3 cans (or 1/4 lb. fresh) shrimp, so I can satisfy greedy shrimp lovers who are there. (Note: You may not need to use the whole bottle of cocktail sauce -- use your judgement adding enough to cream cheese to make it spreading consistency and adding a layer of sauce on top of the mixture.)

This shrimp spread is way too spicy for me. I couldn't even eat it.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my shrimp spread didn't turn out right. It was too runny and lacked flavor.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my shrimp spread didn't turn out very well. It was too thick and didn't have much flavor.

This shrimp spread is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I always have a few shrimp left over after making a shrimp boil, and this is the perfect way to use them up.
