Gulf Coast Shrimp Dip
Prep Time:
20 mins.
Yield:
2 Cups
Leftover shrimp from a spicy seafood boil is the perfect starting point for this tasty shrimp dip or sandwich spread. You can also grab freshly boiled shrimp at groceries and seafood markets across the Gulf South – they do their own shrimp, crawfish and crab boils throughout boil season and sell it by the pound.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds boiled, peeled shrimp
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup Blue Plate® Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons minced green onions
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
Directions
- Combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, buttermilk, green onions, lemon juice, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, cayenne and lemon zest in the bowl of a food processor. Quickly pulse ingredients, for about 30 seconds.
- Add the shrimp to the mixture in the food processor. Process for 30 seconds or until just combined. The dip should be fairly chunky.
- Serve on toasted slices of baguette or your favorite crackers, or use as a sandwich spread.
