Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Large shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 0.25 cup Sour cream
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 Green onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional, for heat)
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and just cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic, green onion, hot sauce (if using), paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well-blended.
Fold the cooked shrimp into the cheese mixture until evenly distributed.
Transfer the mixture to a medium-sized, oven-safe baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and slightly golden on top.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve warm with tortilla chips, toasted baguette slices, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
