Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound (peeled, deveined, and roughly chopped) raw shrimp
- 8 ounces (softened) cream cheese
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup (divided) shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 minced garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) hot sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 sliced (for garnish) green onions
- 1 package (for serving) crackers, baguette slices, or chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a medium-sized baking dish.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and cook the chopped shrimp for 2–3 minutes until just opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, grated Parmesan cheese, 3/4 cup of the shredded mozzarella cheese, lemon juice, minced garlic, hot sauce, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until smooth and evenly mixed.
Gently fold the cooked shrimp into the cheese mixture until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
Serve warm with crackers, baguette slices, or chips for dipping. Enjoy!
