Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 cup mayonnaise
1 (8 ounce) jar seafood cocktail sauce
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Tips:

  • If you don't have a food processor, you can finely chop the shrimp and celery by hand.
  • Be sure to use a sharp knife to thinly slice the green onions.
  • For a more flavorful spread, use homemade mayonnaise. You can also use a store-bought mayonnaise, but be sure to choose one that is made with real eggs and oil.
  • If you want a creamier spread, you can add a tablespoon or two of sour cream.
  • Season the spread to taste with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
  • Serve the spread on crackers, bread, or vegetables.
