Instructions
Set the cream cheese out at room temperature for about 15 minutes to soften slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, and lemon juice. Mix until smooth using a whisk or an electric mixer.
Chop the cooked shrimp into small pieces, leaving a few whole if desired for garnish.
Fold the chopped shrimp into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula.
Add Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce (if using), onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, and use the back of a spoon to smooth the surface.
Sprinkle paprika evenly over the top for a touch of color and flavor.
