Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Shrimp
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 3 Green onions, chopped
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Clean and devein the shrimp, pat them dry, and roughly chop them into bite-sized pieces.
In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
Add the chopped shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, until pink and opaque. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, 1.5 cups of shredded Monterey Jack cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Mix until smooth.
Stir in the cooked shrimp, chopped green onions, lemon juice, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Transfer the mixture to a greased 8x8-inch baking dish or similar-sized oven-safe dish.
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of Monterey Jack cheese evenly over the top of the dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the dip is hot and bubbly with a golden cheese layer on top.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with tortilla chips, crackers, or slices of crusty bread.
