Who doesn't love a great dip?
Published Aug 29, 2024 • Last updated 0 minutes ago • 1 minute read
Tangy sour cream and cream cheese play up the shrimp’s natural sweetness in this traditional appetizer from the sixties. It disappears so quickly you might want to make two batches. You can also substitute crabmeat for shrimp, if desired.
Shrimp Dip
8 oz (226 g) cream cheese
½ cup (125 mL) sour cream
¼ cup (60 mL) mayonnaise
8 oz (226 g) small shrimp
1 250 mL jar seafood cocktail sauce
