Equipment

Ingredients

1 pound medium shrimp thawed, peeled, deveined, and cooked
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 & freshly ground black pepper to taste
juice of 1 lemon
¼ cup chopped fresh parsley divided

Instructions

Prep. Preheat the oven to 350˚F and lightly grease a 2-quart baking dish. 8x8 works great.
Cook the shrimp. In a skillet, cook the shrimp in a tablespoon of cooking oil for 1 to 2 minutes per side, or until pink on all sides. Let cool for a bit and coarsely chop.
Combine the ingredients. 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.
Bake. Transfer the mixture to the baking dish and bake for 25 minutes or until golden and bubbly.
Finish and serve. Remove the shrimp dip from the oven and garnish with the 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.
