Found this in Kraft Foods Magazine and sounds easy great for when companies coming. Once I pick up all the ingredients I plan on making it as a dip that's just a little different. Also suggested a substitute of 1 8oz package of chopped crabmeat for the shrimp. Will serve with crackers. Edited to change amount of shrimp to 3/4 pound based on flowers post. Thanks flower for the information.

Yield 3 cups, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
3/4 lb shrimp, cooked and chopped (2 cups)
3/4 cup seafood cocktail sauce
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
2 green onions, sliced

  • Spread cream cheese onto bottom of 9-inch pie plate or shallow bowl.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh shrimp. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.

  • If you don't have cocktail sauce, you can make your own by mixing ketchup, horseradish, lemon juice, and Worcestershire sauce.
  • Serve the dip with crackers, vegetables, or fruit.
