Yummmy! I mixed in a few drops of hot sauce; then spread a very thin layer of the cream cheese onto a small platter. Because I was having a small dinner party with other appetizers the plate I used was about the size of a salad plate. Smooth the cream cheese all the way to the 'lip' of the plate (reduced the ingredients). Spread an even layer of cocktail sauce over the cream cheese; I think this sauce can be overpowering so keep it thin. Drain frozen baby shrimp well to spread over the top of the cocktail sauce; next green onions chpd tomatoes & finely shredded mozzeralla cheese as suggested by another reviewer. I also left off the black olives. This makes a pretty dish and I like the thin layers to scoop up with the thin triangular shaped Triscuit crackers. I served with Cheese Easy Squares honey roasted peanuts; as well as blue chips with a artichoke salsa. A hit with my guests!
I have been making this dip for a long time. There are always several people who go crazy for it and insist I make it again for them. I use half cream cheese and half mayonnaise as the base and add a layer of shredded mozarella cheese. It goes great with Ritz crackers.
This is a wonderful party dip. It is pretty and is very easy to prepare. My guests loved it. I will definitely make it again.
I made this last night with rave reviews. I didn't use any green onions and used regular sized shrimp. I layered the cream cheese cocktail sauce imitation crab meat that I'd chopped and then added the shrimp and olives. I sprinkled true lemon packets over the top of it and that added a fabulous taste! I will make this again.:)
This was quick and easy and all of my guests loved it! I added shredded mozzerella cheese on top and finely chopped red and yellow bell peppers for some extra colour
I've made this before but added a layer of finely chopped tomato green onion and finely shredded mozerella cheese on the top layer...I left the olives off altogether. The canned baby shrimp (rinsed) worked great!
Love it. I make this ALL the time!!
This was super easy and really tasty! I used a frozen (thawed) shrimp ring instead of canned baby shrimp and it was delicious! Almost can't stop eating it. Everyone loved it.
I omitted the olives because although they would have looked pretty I don't care for them. I mixed 1/2 tsp of garlic powder 1 Tbsp white horseradish & a drained & rinsed can of crab meat into WHIPPED cream cheese. This soft cream cheese made it easier to mix & also scoop up when serving. I cut one pound of shrimp (washed drained & dried) into about 1 inch pieces. I brought the dip which I'd layered in a glass pie plate & covered with plastic wrap in a plastic cake carrier to a party last night & it was a huge hit!
