What’s in This Shrimp Dip Recipe?
This baked dip is made with shrimp, cocktail sauce, cream cheese, sour cream, mozzarella, mayo, and green onion!
- Low-Fat Cream Cheese: Makes this dip thick and creamy.
- Low-Fat Sour Cream: Adds a delicious tangy flavor.
- Light Mayonnaise: Makes this dip rich.
- Mozzarella Cheese: Adds a creamy, cheesy element.
- Cocktail Sauce: Adds an acidic, tomatoey note with a hint of spice!
- Green Onion: Adds a pop of color and freshness.
- Cooked Shrimp: The easiest way to cook these shrimp is to sauté them for a few minutes in a pan or cook them in an air fryer.
Note: The shrimp should be fully cooked before adding it into the mix. You can buy pre-cooked/frozen shrimp for this recipe to make it simple.
Variations on Cream Cheese Shrimp Dip
For an even richer, more indulgent dip, use full-fat cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. You can also swap out the shrimp meat for cooked crab meat or imitation crab meat.
