Shrimp dip, there's nothing small about it!

Aren't I funny with my little titles? 

Anyhow, shrimp dip is a quick easy go to for a gathering or pot luck, like I did today!

So let's get right to the nitty gritty.

2 packages of cream cheese
2 cups of real mayonaise
1 container of Chili Sauce
1/2 cup of shredded parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons of dill weed
1 tablespoon of garlic powder
1 tablespoon of onion powder
1 tablespoon of salt
1 tablespoon of pepper
2 bags of salad shrimp, thawed and patted dry (the little ones that are cooked, in the frozen section. You can use bigger too, I just like the shrimpy shrimp because it's easier to get into your mouth)
juice of 1/2 lemon
chopped green onion for garnish

That's what you need.

Now, mix everything except for the chilli sauce and green onion.  I put mine in a food processor and pulsed until well blended and smooth.  You can mix it by hand too, it just won't get as smooth.

Spread the mixture on a serving dish or plate and make a lip around the edge.  Why a lip?  Here's why, you will now pour the chili sauce on top and the lip will help keep it in place!  Then top that with the shrimp, then top that with the chopped green onion and sprinkle with a little more parmesean cheese. 

That's it!  Your done, serve with your favorite cracker or I like Triskets with it.  Plus, Trisket is fun to say.

Well, how can I explain the person who has a very seldom updated blog about food and one about navigating life? Visit the food and enjoy, but now my focus is on trying to help me understand myself and hopefully help other's along the way.
