Cream Cheese Shrimp Dip

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.

  1. Thank you, Gail, for what could be a lovely salad just perfect for me, minus shrimp!

    Fresh dill, red onions sliced, baby tomatoes, some kidney beans, watercress, and cream cheese, and I have a lovely snack!
