A friend sent me this recipe! A creamy base is layered with cocktail sauce, veggies, seafood and cheese. It's a total crowd pleaser and will be a hit at any gathering.
This was very popular when I brought it to an Easter party. The only change I made was to combine the cocktail sauce with the cream cheese, sour cream and mayo rather than layering them separately. I served it with melba toast rounds. Very good!

I liked this recipe, but changed it a lot, so only gave 4 stars. Like another reviewer, I substited a good zesty seafood cocktail sauce and substited garlic & chive-flavored cream cheese for more flavor. Other changes that made it AWESOME: sweet peppers (yellow, red, and orange) instead of the green. 2 cups of rip tomato instead of 1. I also added black pepper, Vege-Sal, crushed red pepper, paprika, garlic power, and 2 cloves of garlic. By making those changes, it was spicy with garlic and had a great smoked taste. It may be too spicy for some, but we like heat.
I've made this numerous times and it's always a hit. I used the imitation crab sticks and shred them and use the canned baby shrimp. I've also made it with just cream cheese as the bottom layer (minus the mayo/sour cream)
Excellent recipe! Take it to a new flavor and mix all ingredients then spoon into a mushroom cap - put into a large baking pan with 2 pats of butter bake until brown - awesome!
we love this dip for many special occasions. I have used more crab and larger shrimp for a more distinct flavour. We eat this with nachos-plain or flavoured- or crackers. If you can make it a day or 2 before needed , the flavours blend together nicely
I really liked this dip and so did my guests. It was pretty and had that familiar crab dip taste with a twist.
Fantastic! We always gorge ourselves whenever I make this. If only they made crackers smaller so we could get them in our mouths faster! :)
I didn't have the cocktail sauce so I used a cup of catsup with some horseradish, dash of salt and sugar and a few drops of fresh lemon juice. Also used red, yellow and green peppers for color. A huge hit at our New Year's Eve party, will definitely make this again.
Made it for the Superbowl party and it was gone before half time!!! Everyone loved it!
It was delicious! Served it at a baby shower! Everyone loved its creaminess!
This was absolutely fabulous! I & my guests couldn't stop eating it, it makes a lot but goes quickly. The leftovers were even better once mixed together, I think next time I'll make it that way!!
I was looking for recipe ideas for over the Christmas holidays and when I saw this recipe which I've made many times over the years and will be again this coming holiday, I have to rate it as it's such a big, no, HUGE hit with our family. No changes made either, fantastic just as is. Our grown sons would be upset if I changed anything.
This wasn't that good. I made once for a Christmas party and less than half was eaten. I even made it a second time to be fair and even less was taken.
Love this dip! I didn't have the crab or shrimp, so I made it without and it was still delicious. I took it to a party and came home with a clean plate.
This was delicious, for the meat, I just used a package of imitation crab legs. It was a hit at the party. I used tangy cocktail sauce which gave it a bit of a bite.
It disappeared so fast I couldn't believe it. Did not put crab in but made rest the same with bite size nachos. Everybody asked for recipe, even an 8 year old. Got it from someone that made it for a fund raising at work and people where bidding on the whole plate instead of buying one bite for a dollar. Thanks, will become a family classic I'm sure.
I used imitation crab cuz we like it and I forgot to buy the shrimp. But it was still great. We dont like Mayo so I used Miracle Whip. I was worried about cream cheese, sour cream and mayo together but was pleasantly suprised.
I made this for a pre-Christmas get-together with some friends and family on a Friday night. My daughter and step-daughter devoured it! I had to make another on Saturday so I could have some too! I made mine with just shrimp but will add the crab meat next time.
It was really good, but i used cocktail sauce as the recipe called for and it was too sweet so next time i will use a seafood sauce with a little bit of tang in it!
I love this! Very simple to make, the kids help chop and shred the cheese. I'm glad I doubled it because it didn't last the night!
***************************************** Delicious!! since I don't eat meat,but do enjoy seafood,this was a dip I could enjoy and it was delicious!
Very good. Had this recently at a baby shower. I am making it for a party on Saturday. I can't wait for everyone to tell me what a genius I am in the food department.
I am not sure how to rate this. I was not a fan of it. I made it for a party and everyone else seemed to love it and it didn't last long. So for me 3 stars, from my friends, I would say they would give it 5 stars. I left out the pepper since I am not a fan of them.
I was looking for a recipe like my friend's mom used to make when we were growing up. This dip is delicious! I used twice as much (fake) crabmeat and cut out the shrimp completely and it is soooo good. One of those things you bring to a party and everyone wants to know who on earth made the delicious dip they can't stop eating!
Mmmmmmm...always a favorite. I find that a slightly bigger plate works better, about 15" or so and I like to top with purple onion instead of green to add a little zip.
Big hit with my family-left off green peppers and fresh tomatoes and everyone still loved the flavor! will be making this again and again
Delicious! The only change I made is I used chill sauce instead of seafood sauce (seafood sauce is probably better - but I didn't have any) and I put the pepper, tomatoes and green onion on top of the shredded cheese. It was really really yummy!! thanks
I got rave reviews with this recipe. I made it exactly per the recipe and it was wonderful! mi
I made this dip for a party and it was a huge hit! I didn't have mozza so just used chedder cheese, and I didn't have any crab so I just used more shrimp. Turned out great, thanks!
Excellent appetizer! I used canned tiny shrimp and canned lump crabmeat. For the dish, I used an 11 inch pie plate. I followed someone else's suggestion and used sweet peppers instead of a green bell pepper and also decided to use only half of the shredded cheese. This will be my new go-to appetizer!
Delicious. My shrimp-loving husband really liked this. I used chive/onion cream cheese instead of plain. Other than that followed the recipe exactly. Will be making this one again.
Made this for a family dinner and it was the first appetizer to be eaten with lots of compliments.Thank you for the recipe I will be making this again!
I added an Herb & Garlic seasoning in the cream cheese mixture, and made my own seafood sauce with ketchup, horseradish and worcestershire. I chopped up the shrimp into small pieces, and omitted the crab as I didn't have any in the house. It was a hit, everyone loved it.
I was sick of buying at Sobey's. Sooooo, I went there with this guide and yum. I placed the seafood on the seafood sauce and then the veg, cuz really you want the seafood taste with the sauce. Thank you..... Will make again!
This recipe has been made by my family for years, we just don’t add as many vegetables, and a bit more cocktail sauce. tomato’s and green onion only veggies.
This is good, but it makes a LOT. Better have a party to serve it at, or be prepared to eat it for a week.
i brought this and a few other dips to thanksgiving. everyone did not like it for many different reasons i prob wont make this again. unfortunately.
Loved it, was a big hit! I do make sure I use cocktail sauce with less spice to it.
Made this recipe for thanksgiving and it was such a hit, it was requested that I bring it for Christmas! I live in the NW where we always have access to fresh crab and shrimp, so this dip was perfect. Much loved by all!
I made this because I'd had something similar tasting at a Christmas party and this was so good! I didn't muck around with the recipe at all, just made it as it said to and it was great. Big hit!
Yum, a good combination of everything. I have made this from other recipes and the layer of cream cheese, mayo and sour cream can be overwhelming. This is perfect! I also used cheddar cheese instead of mozzarella.
