Outstanding!! Made for husband's birthday party and it was gobbled up. Added chopped spinach to half of the recipe to give a variation. It was definitely better just being the artichokes. The spinach drowned out some of the artichoke flavor. Used larger shrimp and cut them into bite size chunks. Gave the dip a nicer appeal. Will def. make again! Thank you!

This recipe was excellent. I halved the recipe and used pepper-jack cheese as I didn't have chedder and forgot the mustard, but it turned out great. I took it to a BBQ and everyone loved it. Thanks for the great appetizer recipe.
