CREAM CHEESE SHRIMP COCKTAIL DIP
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.

SPICY CREAM CHEESE AND SHRIMP DIP
This is a great recipe for parties and family gatherings. You can make it as spicy as you like, by changing the type of salsa you use. The best salsa to use is one that is chunky. I serve my dip with corn chips. I got the idea by attending a party where salsa was simply poured over blocks of cream cheese.

SALSA, CREAM CHEESE, SHRIMP, MEXICAN CHEESE DIP
This recipe is so good there is none left after any event. I made some of this today to take for "treat night" at work. There wasn't any left to bring home. Unfortunately, no one ate any of the other "treats"...

Steps:
- 1. Lay each cream cheese block side by side in a sealable dish. Defrost shrimp by placing in a colandar and running cool water over them till they are nearly thawed all the way through. Drain then spread over the cream cheese blocks. Spoon the salsa over the top till completely covered. Sprinkle the shreded cheese over the top of all the other ingredients, cover and keep chilled till ready to serve.
- 2. Serve on waverly cracker, ritz, or even tortilla chips. Some people like to use Pace Picante sauce, but I prefer fresh salsa, and nearly everyone that eats this treat loves it that way too.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat cream cheese and sour cream.
- If you like spicy food, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or diced jalapenos to the dip.
- For a smoky flavor, add a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the dip.
- If you want a chunky dip, do not blend or puree the shrimp.
- Serve the dip with crackers, chips, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
The shrimp cream cheese dip is a delicious and versatile appetizer that can be served at any party or gathering. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So, next time you are looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give this shrimp cream cheese dip a try!
