Easy Shrimp Dip

If using frozen shrimp, defrost safely by placing in a bowl of ice water. When defrosted, strain.

Ingredients

  • 8ouncescream cheese, room temp

  • 1/4cupmayonnaise

  • 2 to 4tablespoonslemon juice (2 if regular lemon, 4 if Meyer lemon), more to taste

  • 1teaspoon finely grated lemon zest

  • 3/4pound cooked, shelled, small pink shrimp (salad shrimp)

  • 1/4cup sliced scallions, including the greens

  • 2tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

  • 1/4teaspoon Tabasco or Crystal hot sauce

  • Freshly ground black pepperto taste

Method

  1. Beat the cream cheese, mayo, and lemon:

    In a medium bowl beat together the cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth. Add the lemon juice and lemon zest. Beat until smooth (you may need to use a whisk.)

  2. Pulse the shrimp with cream cheese mixture:

    If you have a food processor, pulse together the shrimp and the cream cheese mixture, three 1-second pulses. If not, or if you just don't want to deal with the food processor, chop up the shrimp—fine to medium chop—and mix into the cream cheese.

  3. Add the scallions, parsley, hot sauce, and pepper:

    Return to the bowl and stir in the scallions and parsley. Add the hot sauce and black pepper to taste. Add more lemon juice to taste.

    Keep chilled. Serve with crackers or crudité.
