How to Make Shrimp and Artichoke Dip:
- Heat a large oven-safe skillet or cast iron pan over med/high heat. Add 1 Tbsp butter to the hot skillet then add shrimp in a single layer and season lightly with salt and pepper. Saute 2 min per side or just until cooked through. Transfer to cutting board to cool slightly then chop into pea-sized pieces.
- In the same pan (no need to wash it). Melt together 3 Tbsp butter, 8 oz sour cream, and 4 oz cream cheese.
- Stir in 6 oz (or three fourths) of shredded cheese. As soon as cheese is melted, add drained chopped artichoke, chopped shrimp meat, pressed garlic and 1 Tbsp Tabasco, or add to taste. Stir together until mixture is hot and bubbling then remove from heat.
- Sprinkle top with remaining 2 oz of shredded cheese and broil in the oven 3 min or until cheese is melted, bubbling and golden in spots.
