Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons Butter, unsalted
- 120 grams Fresh spinach, roughly chopped
- 150 grams Goat cheese, softened
- 115 grams Cream cheese, softened
- 120 grams Sour cream
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 100 grams Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove from the skillet and chop the shrimp into small pieces. Set aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet with the garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the goat cheese, cream cheese, and sour cream. Using a whisk or a spatula, mix until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the lemon juice, salt, black pepper, Parmesan cheese, and half of the mozzarella cheese into the cheese mixture.
Fold in the cooked spinach and chopped shrimp, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe baking dish. Smooth the top and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese evenly over the dip.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the dip is bubbling at the edges and the cheese on top is golden and melted.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Optional: sprinkle with paprika for extra color and flavor.
Serve warm with crackers, pita bread, chips, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
