This dip disappears quickly from the appetizer table when Lauren Tipton’s family gathers in their hometown of Munden. “My dad’s side of the family all live near each other, so we try to get together more than just on holidays. One such event is our annual soup day, held each winter, around January or February,” said Lauren, a family life science major. “We always make more than one recipe of Shrimp Dip.”
Ingredients:
- 2 8-ounce packages cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, grated
- 1 can small shrimp, drained
- Chopped green onions
- 1 bottle chili sauce
Directions:
In the bowl, mix the two cheeses. Use your hands to form the mixture into a ball shape and place it in the center of the serving platter. On top of the ball, press the shrimp on top of the ball and green onions on the sides, covering it evenly and completely. Pour the chili sauce over the layer ball.
Serve with crackers. Yields about 3 cups.
