Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Cooked shrimp, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 tsp Hot sauce (optional)
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- 1 package Crackers, vegetable sticks, or chips (for serving)
Instructions
Remove the cream cheese from the refrigerator and let it soften at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to make mixing easier.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to blend until smooth and creamy.
Add the chopped shrimp, minced garlic, green onions, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce (if using), salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir gently with a spatula until all ingredients are well combined.
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or hot sauce based on your preference.
Transfer the shrimp dip to a serving dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top for garnish, if desired.
Serve immediately with crackers, vegetable sticks, or chips, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for a chilled version.
