Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 1 loaf baguette or crackers for serving
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the chopped shrimp to the skillet. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and just cooked through. Remove the skillet from heat and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined.
Fold the cooked shrimp and garlic mixture into the cheese mixture. Also, add 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley and stir until evenly incorporated.
Transfer the dip mixture to a greased 1-quart baking dish or cast-iron skillet. Smooth out the top with a spatula.
Bake the dip in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until it is bubbly and golden on top.
Remove the dip from the oven and sprinkle it with the remaining 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley for garnish.
Serve warm with slices of baguette, crackers, or your favorite dipping bread.
