Instructions
- Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature so that it is softened, or microwave on a plate for 15-30 seconds to soften the cheese. Add the softened cream cheese and lemon juice to a small bowl. You can use a spoon in a small bowl or a handheld mixer to mix until the cream cheese is smooth and creamy. Evenly spread the mixture into a serving dish.
- Spread the cocktail sauce evenly over the cream cheese layer.
- Place the cooked shrimp evenly on the top of the cocktail sauce. (Note: if using frozen shrimp ensure they are thawed and drained very well).
- Top the dip with sliced chives or green onions. Serve with crackers, crostini or slices of baguette and enjoy!
Notes
- The smaller the shrimp the better for this dip as you want them to fit on the cracker. When looking at the bag of frozen shrimp look for size 41/50, 51-60, 71-90, or baby shrimp. You can use frozen fully cooked shrimp, just thaw them and drain them very well.
