Equipment

Ingredients

1 pound medium shrimp, thawed, peeled, deveined, and cooked
1 block (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
½ cup sour cream or plain yogurt
¼ cup mayonnaise
¾ cup shredded mozzarella
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon minced garlic, about 4 cloves of garlic
½ teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning, or to taste
hot sauce, to taste, optional
salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
juice of 1 lemon
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley, divided

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350˚F and lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish. 8x8 works great.
Cook the shrimp; let cool for a bit and coarsely chop.
In a large bowl, stir together the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, mozzarella, parmesan, garlic, Old Bay seasonings, hot sauce (if using), salt, pepper, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons chopped parsley, and the chopped shrimp. Mix and stir until thoroughly incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to the baking dish and bake for 25 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
Remove from oven and garnish with remaining parsley.
Serve hot or warm with veggies, pita chips, crackers, etc.

Notes

Feel free to play with the dip's flavors by mixing in different herbs, spices, or seasonings to match your preferences.
Introduce more flavors and texture by mixing in veggies like baby spinach or chopped bell peppers.
If you're out of shrimp or prefer something else, try using crab or diced ham for a tasty and different twist.
This dip can be made up to a day in advance. Just cover and store it in the fridge. Before baking, let it sit out for 30 minutes to reach room temperature.
