Very good Dip. Ultra easy and fast to make. I used shrimp and added a sprinkle of Old Bay, after tasting. Also, we used Frito's Scoops.

I make this recipe the same as Alice Robertson Clark. I also top the shrimp with chopped green onion for garnish.

This is great and I have made for several years. I use the same ingredients, but assembly a little differently. I use an old clear pyrex pie plate. Soften the cream cheese a little and spread out evenly on the pie plate. Then, layer the cocktail sauce. I select the Heinz with the touch of Horseraddish sauce in it. Then layer the shrimp on top. Then place the pie plate on a larger glass platter and place the crackers around the pie plate. This helps solve the issue of it not looking so appetizing. The shrimp on top helps draw the crowd. Very easy and very good. Thank you for posting.
