NO-BRAINER SHRIMP SPREAD



No-Brainer Shrimp Spread image

A variation of the ultimate lazy appetizer recipe from the 80's, when you threw shrimp over a block of cream cheese, poured cocktail sauce over it, and served with crackers. I do it this way for a bigger group and also because it's easier to spread on crackers. Note: Many times I use 3 cans (or 1/4 lb. fresh) shrimp, so I can satisfy greedy shrimp lovers who are there. (Note: You may not need to use the whole bottle of cocktail sauce -- use your judgement adding enough to cream cheese to make it spreading consistency and adding a layer of sauce on top of the mixture.)

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, room temperatore

  • Mix together softened cream cheese, 2/3 of shrimp, sliced onions and 1/2 bottle of shrimp cocktail sauce.
  • Mix well, adding more cocktail sauce if necessary to make mixture a spreading consistency.
  • Put in a serving bowl, put a thin layer of cocktail sauce over spread to cover top, then arrange remaining shrimp over that to decorate the appetizer.
  • Chill, then serve with crackers of your choice.

SENSATIONAL SHRIMP SPREAD

Make and share this Sensational Shrimp Spread recipe from Food.com.

Provided by sweettooth83

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 20m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoons Miracle Whip
1 (4 1/2 ounce) can baby shrimp, drained and finely chopped
1 tablespoon minced onion
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
seasoning salt
ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In medium bowl, combine cream cheese and miracle whip; mix well.
  • Stir in remaining ingredients.
  • Cover; refrigerate 2-3 hours for flavors to blend.
  • Serve with crackers.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh shrimp. Frozen shrimp can be used, but it will not have the same flavor or texture.
  • Be sure to devein the shrimp before cooking. This will remove the dark vein that runs through the back of the shrimp and can be gritty.
  • Cook the shrimp until they are just pink and opaque. Overcooking will make them tough and chewy.
  • Let the shrimp cool completely before chopping or adding it to the spread.
  • Use high-quality mayonnaise. A good mayonnaise will make the spread creamy and flavorful.
  • Add some chopped herbs or spices to the spread for extra flavor. Some good options include dill, parsley, chives, tarragon, basil, paprika, or cayenne pepper.
  • Serve the spread on crackers, bread, or vegetables. It can also be used as a dip for shrimp, crab, or lobster.

Conclusion:

This spectacular shrimp spread is a delicious and versatile appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Serve it on crackers, bread, or vegetables, or use it as a dip for shrimp, crab, or lobster. Enjoy!
