How to make Shrimp Dip with Cream Cheese
I love “dump and bake” recipes and this one is a real winner! It bakes up in 15-20 minutes and comes out almost too pretty to eat.
The bell pepper and green onions add a punch of color to this pale dip and the chopped shrimp is the icing on the cake.
Quality Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning adds the true spice that gives this dip its signature flavor!

Tips and Tricks for a Spicy Southern treat
Should I use Fresh or Frozen Shrimp?
If fresh are in season, go with that! If not and you have a hankering, get the frozen and thaw and drain before chopping. So many flavors here, you won't be disappointed either way.
How to Store/How long it will keep?
Once cooled to room temperature, it will last in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
