How to Make Shrimp and Crab Dip

This is a quick and easy dip that is a sure fire hit at any party. Looking for something a little fishy for your summer cookout? This can be served cold or hot and ingredients can be changed over to low fat for a diet recipe.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• 4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
• 1 tomato, chopped
• 1 onion, chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, chopped
• 2 (6 ounce) cans crabmeat, drained and flaked
• 1 (4.5 ounce) can tiny shrimp, drained
• 1/2 cup banana pepper rings, chopped
• taco or shrimp sauce optional

1. Melt the cream cheese in a fondue pot. Gently fold in tomato, onion, garlic, crab, shrimp, and peppers.
2. If you would like to serve this as a cold recipe rather then cooking then start with a cream cheese base spread evenly through the bottom of a decorative dish. Top with remaining ingredients.
3. For a little zing add a layer of shrimp sauce or even taco sauce between the cream cheese and the loose ingredients.
4. Serve this dish surrounded by crackers for a quick and easy snack or appetizer.
