Tangy Tarragon Dip With Shrimp

Submitted by FLUFFSTER

"This is a great dip for parties, get-togethers of all kinds or just for the family on movie night. I found this on the net. It's great with crackers, veggies, warm sourdough bread, or even bread sticks. Seems like when there's dip, you'll find something to dip into it!"
