What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? Cheerful Choices: Cream Cheese Shrimp Dip! Appetizers are fun to serve for a gathering of friends or date night for two. I usually keep cooked, frozen shrimp on hand, which can be thawed in a few minutes. But I have also used tiny canned shrimp, which work very well. Obviously, the canned shrimp should be drained first. A few steps later and you’re good to go.
CREAM CHEESE SHRIMP DIP
Ingredients:
8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
8 ounces cooked shrimp, tails removed and cut into chunks
10 ounces cocktail sauce, prepared
1/4 teaspoon dill weed
1 green onion, thinly sliced
Instructions:
Spread a thin layer of softened cream cheese onto a serving dish. Add a layer of cocktail sauce, expanding to the edges. Arrange bite-sized shrimp pieces over all. Sprinkle with dill weed. Garnish with green onion strips. Chill one hour. Serve with crackers.
Your mention of canned shrimp prompted me to see if we can buy them in Australia. Nope! Canned clams are impossible to find too.

There’s a seafood place nearby. I used to get it at our grocery chain, called Giant. Now I only go to my seafood guy since I’m the only one who eats it and I rarely go.
