Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Raw shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons Hot sauce (like Sriracha or your favorite chili sauce)
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 stalks Green onion, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional, for extra heat)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped shrimp, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Cook the shrimp for 3-4 minutes until they are pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, hot sauce, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix until smooth and well blended.
Fold in the cooked shrimp, shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, and parsley. Stir until evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to a lightly greased oven-safe baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake the dip in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until it is hot and bubbly on top.
Optional: For a golden and crispy top layer, switch the oven to broil for the last 2 minutes of cooking. Keep a close eye on it to prevent burning.
Remove the dip from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, bread, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
