Layered Shrimp Spread Recipes

SHRIMP 7-LAYER DIP

Steps:

• Place cream cheese in a mixing bowl; cream with a fork. Add sour cream and mayonnaise. Whisk with a fork until mixture is well combined and smooth.
• Spread cream cheese mixture in the bottom of an 8-inch pie plate to create the first layer. Top evenly with cocktail sauce, imitation crab, shrimp, green onion, diced tomato, and mozzarella cheese to create remaining layers. Garnish with small whole shrimp, sliced green onion, and fresh parsley, if desired.
• Cover and chill for a minimum of 2 hours, or overnight, to allow flavors to meld.
• Serve with potato chips, tortilla chips, or crackers.

Steps:

• Beat together the cream cheese, sour cream and mayo until smooth and creamy. Spread out on a large plate with an edge or in a 9x13 pan.
• Spread the seafood sauce over the cream cheese mixture gently.
• Sprinkle the shrimp over top of the sauce in an even layer.
• Layer the remaining ingredients however you like. I usually go green peppers, tomatoes, a little cheese, green onions and then the rest of the cheese.
• Refrigerate until serving.
• Serve with Ritz crackers for the BEST taste, but this also works with tortilla chips!

LAYERED SHRIMP APPETIZER

Steps:

• 1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, cayenne pepper and garlic. Mix with an electric mixer until all is thoroughly blended together.
• 2. Spread the mixture on bottom of a glass 8X8X2 (or slightly larger) serving dish.
• 3. Pour and spread bottle of Shrimp Cocktail Sauce atop the cheese and spice, herb mix. Next, drain any excess water from your clean, cooked, thawed shrimp and place on top of the cocktail sauce.
• 4. Now add all fresh vegetables atop your shrimp and top off with the finely shredded mozzarella cheese mixed with pimento and sliced ripe olives. (I do not usually use the pimento and ripe olives unless it for a fancy party.) GARNISH with the reserved shrimp sprinkled atop the Mozzarella dish. (Please do not forget this step because some people are allergic to shellfish.) Chill and serve with Ritz Crackers or crackers of your choice.
• 5. *OPTIONAL* If you do not have Shrimp Cocktail Sauce, but you have chili sauce, substitute it and serve with tortilla chips, corn chips etc...
