CREAMY SHRIMP SCAMPI DIP



Creamy Shrimp Scampi Dip image

This rich, garlicky dip caused a feeding frenzy in the Food Network test kitchen. We've taken a beloved shrimp-and-pasta dish and made it into a creamy, crowd-pleasing appetizer. You can make it ahead to take to a nearby potluck, then ask your host if you can borrow some oven space to quickly bake it.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
4 tablespoons plain dried breadcrumbs
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus 1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter
1 pound large peeled and deveined shrimp, tails discarded, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Large pinch crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, finely chopped
1 teaspoon lemon zest
Slices of crusty bread and/or crackers, for serving

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the top position, and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Beat the cream cheese, mozzarella, sour cream, mayonnaise, Parmesan, 2 tablespoons of the breadcrumbs and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium high until smooth. Cover and refrigerate until ready to add the shrimp.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the shrimp, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt and the red pepper flakes, and cook, stirring frequently, until the shrimp just start to turn pink, about 2 minutes. Add the wine, bring to a simmer and cook until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, about 2 minutes (there will be some liquid left in the skillet). Remove the skillet from the heat, and let the shrimp cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, mix together the parsley, the remaining 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs and 1 tablespoon melted butter, the lemon zest and a pinch of salt in a small bowl.
  • Stir the shrimp, pan sauce and cream cheese mixtures together to combine; transfer to a 2-quart flameproof baking dish. (The dip and breadcrumb mixture can be covered and refrigerated overnight separately at this point.) Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the dip, and bake until hot and bubbly, 15 to 20 minutes. Switch the oven to broil, and cook until the top is golden brown, 1 to 3 minutes. Let rest for a few minutes, then serve hot with bread and/or crackers.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh shrimp. Frozen shrimp can be used, but it should be thawed and drained thoroughly before cooking.
  • Use a food processor or blender to make the dip smooth and creamy. If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can finely chop the shrimp and cream cheese by hand.
  • Add a tablespoon or two of lemon juice to brighten up the flavor of the dip.
  • Garnish the dip with chopped parsley, chives, or green onions before serving.
  • Serve the dip with crackers, chips, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Wendy's Shrimp Dip is a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for parties or potlucks. It is made with just a few simple ingredients and can be prepared in just a few minutes. The dip is creamy, cheesy, and full of shrimp flavor. It is sure to be a hit with your guests.
