Olive Garden San Remo Seafood Dip
The Olive Garden San Remo Seafood Dip combines canned tiny shrimp and crab meat in a creamy sauce made from cream cheese, olive oil, flour, cheeses, horseradish, and reserved seafood liquid. This mixture simmers to a warm pudding-like consistency, layered over drained marinara sauce in a dish, topped with parmesan, and baked briefly to serve as a creamy, cheesy, seafood appetizer.

Ingredients
- 6 ounces Shrimp tiny, canned; drain and reserve liquid
- 6 ounces crab meat canned; drain and reserve liquid
- 2 ounces cream cheese room temperature and cubed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic crushed
- 1 teaspoon horseradish prepared
- 1/3 cup Asiago cheese grated
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1/2-3/4 cup half and half
- 5 /2 marinara sauce prepared; by Barilla brand; drained to remove excess liquid
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese fresh, finely shredded, for topping
Instructions
- In a 2-quart saucepan on medium-low, heat olive oil and blend in flour. Add to flour the liquids that were reserve from the shrimp and crab; stir well. To this sauce, add cubed cream cheese, salt, crushed garlic, and horseradish; stir until smooth.
- Add asiago and Parmesan cheeses and stir until smooth. When the cheese has melted and sauce is smooth, add shrimp and crab; blend well. Simmer until heated through. Finally, add half and half a little at a time until the seafood sauce starts to simmer and begins to resemble warm pudding. Let sauce simmer for 12-15 minutes.
- Stir sauce so it does not scorch on bottom. Spray a shallow 9-inch baking dish with nonstick spray. Add drained marinara sauce and carefully spoon seafood sauce on top. Sprinkle with freshly shredded Parmesan cheese and place in a preheated oven at 325 degrees, for 10-15 minutes, until heated through. Dip should not brown on top.
