📝 Instructions

12 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Pat the shrimp dry with paper towels, then chop them into bite-sized pieces.

3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the butter and minced garlic, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.

4. Add the shrimp to the skillet, season with a pinch of salt and black pepper, and sauté for 2-3 minutes or until pink and cooked through. Stir in lemon juice and set the shrimp aside to cool slightly.

5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy.

6. Stir in the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and sharp cheddar cheese, leaving a small handful of each cheese aside for topping.

7. Fold the cooked shrimp into the cheese mixture and add hot sauce, parsley, remaining salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

8. Transfer the mixture into a greased oven-safe baking dish and spread it out evenly.

9. Top the dip with the reserved cheeses.

10. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the dip is bubbly and the top is golden brown.

11. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.

12. Garnish with additional parsley, if desired, and serve warm with crackers, bread, or vegetables for dipping.
