Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cooked shrimp, finely chopped
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely sliced
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or a sturdy spatula to blend the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth and creamy.
Add the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce (if using), garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the cream cheese mixture. Mix until well combined.
Fold in the finely chopped shrimp, fresh dill, and half of the green onions. Mix gently to ensure the shrimp is evenly distributed without breaking it down too much.
Transfer the shrimp dip to a serving dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Garnish with the remaining green onions and an extra sprinkle of fresh dill, if desired.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve cold with crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh vegetables.
