How to Make Crab Shrimp Dip Or Mold

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup sour cream, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Blend thoroughly until smooth.
  2. If making a molded salad, sprinkle 2 envelopes (1 ounce each) of Knox unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water. Let it bloom for 5 minutes, then microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring until completely dissolved. Add this to the cream cheese mixture.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup of the liquid from the canned crab/shrimp.
  4. Gently fold in 1/2 cup finely chopped celery and 1/4 cup finely chopped onion.
  5. Add 1 (10 ounce) can of drained crab meat and 1 (10 ounce) can of drained shrimp. Mix gently until combined.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until completely chilled and set (longer for a firmer mold). Serve with crackers, baguette slices, or as a molded salad.
