One of my favorite shrimp recipes ever, Spicy Creole Shrimp Dip is the ultimate appetizer recipe. A spicy, cheesy sauce coats tender, seasoned shrimp. Serve with fresh baguette slices.
serve with: baguette slices, toasted or not, your preference
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375-f degrees.
Mix seasoning blend together and set aside. Reserve 1 teaspoon of seasoning blend for the vegetables.
Peel, devein, rinse and pat dry shrimp. Leave tails on 3 shrimp if desired for garnish. Chop remaining shrimp into 3 pieces, season shrimp with about 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the seasoning blend, mix well and set aside.
In a pan over medium heat, add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add vegetables and saute for about 5 minutes, season with 1 teaspoon of seasoning blend, mix well. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more. Add shrimp and cook for about 3 minutes only. Remove from heat and place mixture in a large bowl.
Add cream cheese, mayonnaise and 1 cup of cheese to shrimp mixture and stir well. Place into a greased 8-Inch square oven proof casserole dish, top with remaining cheese and bake at 375-f degrees for 20 minutes.
