I made this for a football party and it was a hit!!! Everyone loved it! I used Kraft Ranch dressing. But here's a hint..if you use the recommended onions they are pretty overpowering so I suggest you add onions to taste or else you better not be kissing anyone!!:)

I made the recipe according to direction. It was tasty but next time I think I will leave out the shrimp I didn't care for the differences in texture.
