Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams cooked prawns (peeled and deveined)
- 200 grams cream cheese (softened)
- 100 grams sour cream
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 1 tablespoon dill (fresh, chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper (freshly ground)
- 2 stalks green onions (finely chopped, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoons optional hot sauce
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, and lemon juice. Use a handheld mixer or a whisk to blend until smooth and creamy.
Chop the cooked prawns into small pieces, leaving a few whole prawns aside for garnish if desired.
Add the chopped prawns, minced garlic, paprika, dill, salt, and black pepper to the cream cheese mixture. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly incorporated.
If using hot sauce, add it now and adjust the amount to your desired spice level.
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning (salt, pepper, or lemon juice) if needed.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl. Garnish with the reserved whole prawns, finely chopped green onions, and a sprinkle of paprika for an extra pop of color.
Serve immediately with crackers, toasted bread, or sliced vegetables, or refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes for the flavors to meld together.
