Spread the seafood sauce over the cream cheese mixture gently.
Sprinkle the shrimp over top of the sauce in an even layer.
Layer the remaining ingredients however you like. I usually go green peppers, tomatoes, a little cheese, green onions and then the rest of the cheese.

Serve with Ritz crackers for the BEST taste, but this also works with tortilla chips!

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your shrimp spread.
Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp should be cooked just until it is pink and opaque. Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery.
Use a food processor to chop the shrimp. This will help to create a smooth and creamy spread.
Add your favorite seasonings to taste. Garlic, onion, celery, and green bell pepper are all classic additions to shrimp spread.
Serve shrimp spread with crackers, vegetables, or bread. It can also be used as a sandwich spread or as a dip.

Conclusion:

Shrimp spread is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It is perfect for parties or potlucks. With its creamy texture and flavorful ingredients, shrimp spread is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
