By jarren

Ingredients

• 1 250 gram pkg. firm cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1 cup grated Swiss cheese
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1/2 pound cooked salad shrimp, patted dry and coarsely chopped
• 1 120-g can of crab meat, drained well and patted dry
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill, plus a few sprigs for garnish
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• Dashes of Tabasco and Worcestershire sauce
• Salt and white pepper, to taste

Preparation

Step 1

Place the cream cheese in a bowl and beat until smooth and lightened. Mix all remaining ingredients, except those listed as garnish. Spoon the dip into a decorative bowl (heatproof, if serving the dip hot). Cover and keep refrigerated until ready to serve. This dip can be served cold or hot; garnish with a few whole shrimp and dill sprigs just before doing so. To serve hot, cover the dip with foil and heat 20-25 minutes in a 375 degree F (190 degrees C) oven, or until heated through.
