Ingredients
- 1 cup Cooked shrimp, finely chopped
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup Sour cream

- 1 tbsp Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp Paprika
- 3 stalks Green onions, thinly sliced
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and mix until smooth using a hand mixer or a whisk. This will ensure a creamy texture for the dip.
Fold in the sour cream and mayonnaise, and stir until well combined.
Add the chopped shrimp, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and hot sauce (if using). Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the flavors.
Gently stir in the sliced green onions, reserving a small handful for garnish if desired.
Transfer the shrimp dip to a serving bowl and smooth the top with a spatula.
Sprinkle the reserved green onions and an extra dash of paprika on top for a pop of color.
Chill the dip in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, or serve immediately if time is limited.
Serve with crackers, sliced baguette, fresh vegetables, or tortilla chips. Enjoy!
