Ingredients for Amazing Shrimp Dip

  • 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 pound cooked shrimp (chopped)
  • Miracle Whip
  • Chili Sauce
  • 1 tablespoon horseradish (prepared)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Tabasco Sauce

How to Make Amazing Shrimp Dip

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 pound cooked shrimp (chopped), 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup chopped green onions, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 tablespoon horseradish (prepared), 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste.
  2. Using an electric mixer, blend all ingredients until smooth and creamy.
  3. For the best flavor, cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
  4. Remove from refrigerator at least 30 minutes before serving to allow it to come to room temperature for optimal texture and flavor.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
