Easy Shrimp Dip

Submitted by Small Town Cook

"This is such a great recipe. It is easy and is so good! I get asked to make this for holiday parties. One tip - remember to take it out of the fridge at least 30 minutes before serving or it will break your crackers. You can use 2 cans of shrimp in place of the frozen salad shrimp."

This is my favorite appy. Very easy to make. I serve with triscuit crackers I found that they dont break apart when scooping the dip up.

This is a great recipe. I used canned shrimp and halved the recipe. I put little too much shrimp in it, but that is my fault. This has a nice bite to it from the cocktail sauce and the shrimp blends well with the creaminess of the cream cheese. This also works well with imitation krab

This appetizer shows up regularly at family gatherings and always gets devoured.

When I make this Christmas, I add parsley (dried or fresh cut very small with a kitchen shears on top of the cocktail sauce. The warning to take out of the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving is an important one.
