Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp ketchup
- 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp hot sauce
- 1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
- 1 cup lump crabmeat
- 1 cup green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, soften the cream cheese by allowing it to sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes or until easily spreadable.
Add mayonnaise, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and hot sauce to the bowl with the cream cheese. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Gently fold in the chopped shrimp, lump crabmeat, and finely chopped green onions. Be careful not to overmix to avoid breaking up the seafood too much.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, and stir until evenly distributed.
If serving as a dip, transfer the mixture to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
If serving as a mold, lightly grease a decorative mold or bowl with nonstick spray or a thin layer of oil. Spoon the mixture into the mold, pressing down gently to ensure there are no air pockets. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight for best results.
When ready to serve the molded version, carefully invert it onto a serving plate. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
Serve chilled with crackers, baguette slices, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
