Cheesy Baked Shrimp Dip

Baked Shrimp Dip is a delicious appetizer made with creamy cheeses, chunks of succulent shrimp and flavorful spices that will be the hit of your party.

Shrimp Dip is great for parties, game day or holiday get-togethers. It’s a fast favorite, rivaling some of my favorites, like Jalapeno Popper Dip, and Hot Mexican Corn Dip and Crab Dip.

Shrimp Dip Ingredients

• Olive oil for sauteing the vegetables
• Veggies – onion, red bell pepper and green onions.
• Shrimp – Small-medium size works well.
• Flavors: Garlic, Cajun seasoning, Lemon juice , Worcestershire sauce
• Cheeses: Cream cheese, Mozzarella, Parmesan

How to Make Baked Shrimp Dip

Another reason I love serving dips at parties is their simplicity; since they usually only have a handful of ingredients and seasonings, they are easy to make. Plus they don’t require much more than a little garnish and some chips or crostini for serving.

Melt olive oil in a skillet and saute onions and peppers. Add the shrimp just until cooked through and no longer pink. Stir in the flavorings and seasonings, then remove from the heat and stir in the cheeses, until they are all evenly melted.

Bake the dip for 15-20 minutes, or until golden and bubbly, broiling at the end for a golden brown finish.

You can also include some green onions or fresh parsley for garnish because a little extra color is always a good thing.

Expert Tips and FAQs

• Sneak in some heat with a few dashes of hot sauce.
• Feel free to change up the flavor profile – add some diced tomatoes, spinach, or swap out the cajun seasoning for Old Bay.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and eat within 2 days. Reheat if desired in a 350 degree oven for 8-10 minutes.
