Dee's Shrimp Dip
Dee Fink's delicious recipe. See also her variation for Shrimp and Macaroni Salad.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 - 1½ lbs. shrimp, cleaned and chopped
- 8 oz. cream cheese, softened at room temp
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
- ½ - 1 tsp. Old Bay seasoning
- 2 tsp. horseradish
- 1 Tbsp. Hunts chile sauce (or you can use 2 Tbsp. premade cocktail sauce and omit the horseradish sauce)
- ¼ tsp. celery salt
- Tabasco - a couple of good shakes
INSTRUCTIONS
Mix the cream cheese, spices and sauces very well before adding the mayo. If you use ⅓-less-fat cream cheese, use a little more of it and less mayo because it won't firm up much at all even after refrigerating.
Add chopped shrimp and refrigerate for at least 3 hours before serving.
Serve with your favorite wheat cracker. Triscuits are great and it's GREAT with waffle potato chips too. (You don't want a cracker with too much flavor of its own or it detracts from the taste of the shrimp.)
