Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup prepared cocktail sauce
- 1.5 cups cooked shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped
- 2 tbsp green onions, finely chopped
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped (for garnish)
- 1 package crackers or sliced baguette (for serving)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and creamy. You can use a hand mixer or whisk for best results.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly onto a serving platter or shallow dish to form the base layer of the spread.
Pour the prepared cocktail sauce evenly over the cream cheese layer, spreading gently with a spoon to cover the surface.
Sprinkle the chopped shrimp evenly over the cocktail sauce layer.
Top the shrimp layer with the shredded mozzarella cheese, ensuring even coverage.
Sprinkle the chopped green onions and parsley on top for a burst of fresh flavor and color.
Cover and refrigerate the spread for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is optional but recommended.
Before serving, set the spread out with crackers or sliced baguette for dipping. Enjoy!
