Notes

Helpful Tips
  • Cream Cheese - Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature so that it is creamy when mixed for the best texture of this dip recipe.
  • Make sure to Chill - The chilling time is needed so that all the flavors are fully combined and cold before serving.
  • Use Small Shrimp - They mix more evenly into the dip.
Variations Ideas
  • Spicy Shrimp Dip - Add diced jalapeños or extra hot sauce.
  • Cheesy Baked Version - Stir in shredded mozzarella and bake until bubbly.
  • Low-Fat Option - Use Greek yogurt instead of mayo for a lighter version.
  • Seafood Twist - Add crab or lobster for a mixed seafood dip.
