Instructions

Set aside a few of the nicer looking whole shrimp (to use for garnish), then chop up the rest.
In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese and mayonnaise until blended and smooth. An electric mixer works best, to get the mixture completely smooth and lump-free.
Add chopped shrimp, green onion, and garlic salt to the cream cheese mixture and fold to evenly combine.
Transfer dip to a small serving bowl and top with reserved whole shrimp and additional green onion. Sprinkle a bit of freshly ground black pepper over the top. Serve with crackers and fresh veggies for dipping. For crackers, Keebler Original Club Crackers are a favorite for our family.

Notes

a Christmas Eve tradition for my family, from Mom's recipe box
To make ahead. This dip can be prepared several hours to a day ahead of time and then stored in a container with a lid in the refrigerator.
To store. If you end up with leftover shrimp dip, store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
