In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly incorporate the seasonings.
Gently fold in the cooked, chopped shrimp until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
If desired, add a dash of hot sauce for a spicy kick.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of paprika for extra color.
Serve immediately with crackers, chips, or fresh vegetables. Alternatively, cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days. For best results, let it sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before serving if chilled.
