SPICY CREAM CHEESE AND SHRIMP DIP

Spicy Cream Cheese and Shrimp Dip image

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.

SPICY SHRIMP DIP

Spicy Shrimp Dip image

Turn up the heat by keeping the seeds in the chiles. And if you're using precooked shrimp, omit step 1 -- just peel and chop them, then add them in step 2.

Categories Food & Cooking Appetizers

Time 50m

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 pound shell-on medium shrimp
12 ounces cream cheese
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 to 3 serrano chiles, seeds removed, minced (1/4 cup)
1/4 cup packed cilantro leaves, finely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 cup panko, toasted
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium saucepan, bring 3 inches of water to a simmer. Add shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 1 minute, 30 seconds. Immediately transfer to a colander and run under cold water to stop cooking. Peel and devein, pat dry, and chop.
In a bowl, whisk together cream cheese, mayonnaise, and lime juice until smooth. Fold in shrimp, chiles, and 4 teaspoons cilantro. Season with salt and pepper.
Transfer mixture to a 1-quart baking dish. Toss panko with remaining cilantro and oil; sprinkle evenly over dip. Bake until heated through, about 15 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes; serve.

Tips:

Use fresh and high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the final flavor of the dip. Use fresh shrimp, cream cheese, and sour cream.
Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery. Cook the shrimp until it is just pink and opaque.
Use a good quality hot sauce: The type of hot sauce you use will also make a difference in the final flavor of the dip. Choose a hot sauce that has a good flavor and heat level that you enjoy.
Serve the dip with your favorite dippers: This dip is great with a variety of dippers, such as crackers, chips, vegetables, and bread.
