Ingredients
- 8 ounces Cream cheese

- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Hot sauce (optional)
- 1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
Let the cream cheese soften at room temperature for about 10 minutes before starting.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Mix together with a hand mixer (or by hand) until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the cooked, chopped shrimp, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and hot sauce (if using). Mix thoroughly to distribute the seasonings.
