Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Cooked shrimp, finely chopped

- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 tsp Hot sauce

Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the cream cheese. Allow it to soften at room temperature for about 10 minutes for easier mixing.
Using a hand mixer or a sturdy spoon, whip the cream cheese until it is smooth and fluffy.
Gently fold in the chopped shrimp and shredded crab meat, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Add the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and garlic powder to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
Stir in the fresh dill, salt, and black pepper. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasonings as needed.
Add the finely chopped green onions and mix gently just until incorporated.
Transfer the seafood spread to a serving dish. If time allows, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the seafood spread with crackers or baguette slices. Garnish with additional dill or green onions if desired. Enjoy!
