Good recipe but I think it would have been better with only about half of the veggies and cheese to sprinkle on top. There was a tad too much and it overpowered the flavor of the shrimp. Also, I wish I had drained the shrimp more using paper towels to blot up more of the moisture in them as the moisture pooled. Next time, I will also save some shrimp to scatter on the top of the dish so people know what it is. People didn't know it was a shrimp dip and thought it was something more on the order of a nacho dip based on the appearance. And, since the shrimp flavor was masked by so much cheese and veggies, even then it didn't have enough shrimp flavor. Anyway, a very good recipe that with a few tweaks should be a great recipe. And a nice change from the usual shrimp dips I've had.
