Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Shrimp (peeled, deveined, and chopped)
- 4 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
- 225 grams Cream cheese (softened)
- 60 grams Mayonnaise
- 60 grams Sour cream
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 75 grams Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 15 grams Butter (unsalted)
- 15 ml Lemon juice
- 10 grams Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
In a skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the chopped shrimp and cook for 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and are fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, lemon juice, grated Parmesan cheese, and half of the shredded mozzarella. Stir well until smooth and creamy.
Fold the cooked shrimp and garlic mixture into the cheese mixture. Season with salt and black pepper, mixing thoroughly.
Transfer the mixture to a greased or oven-safe baking dish. Spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded mozzarella over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbling and golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before garnishing with fresh parsley and a sprinkle of paprika, if desired.
Serve warm with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh vegetables on the side.
