5 stars my way 4 stars your way I use more of everything and I never use can shrimp to high in sodium I use salad shrimp or small frozen cooked shrimp I just about double everything 8 oz. cream cheese

This was excellent! I made it for a Christmas party and eveyone loved it! I especially loved to spread it on Ritz crackers - the buttery flavor of the cracker complemented the flavor of the dip. It's a keeper!

This was so good, I could have eaten it with a spoon! I used light cream cheese, and next time will use 2% fat cheese to lighten it up even more. I will definitely make this one a permanent card in my recipe box!


Made this dip last week for a holiday party. Everyone loved it so much, was glad I made two plates! Used more salsa and cocktail sauce and cheese than the recipe calls for. Try this dip - it's really good!
