3-Ingredient Shrimp Cocktail Dip
3-Ingredient Shrimp Cocktail Dip is a simple & easy little dip loaded with shrimp in every bite! It's a party and game day favorite, for sure.
Remember those little shrimp cocktails you used to be able to buy in tiny glass jars? They were sold in the refrigerator or freezer sections, I believe, and had a mixture of cocktail sauce and teeny-tiny whole shrimp ... all ready to enjoy. All you had to do was simply pop the top off the jar ... and dig in with a spoon.
But in our family's case, these little shrimp cocktails were all ready to be enjoyed as shrimp dip!
My Mom made the simplest-and-tastiest shrimp dip by mixing these little shrimp cocktails with cream cheese. And I loved it. It was just two simple ingredients, but they combined to deliver up big flavor that I adored. Believe me, I was always excited to see Mom pick up a pack of shrimp cocktails at the grocery store, because I knew it meant a batch of shrimp dip was soon on the way.
And I remember we always kept the little jars to use as juice glasses. They were the perfect tiny size to serve up a spot of juice. We must have had a dozen of these tiny glasses in our drinkware cupboard.
But fortunately, with just three simple ingredients it's easy to recreate the shrimp dip of my childhood memories. Simply mix together cream cheese, prepared cocktail sauce, and extra-small shrimp ... and voila! ... a delicious bowl of 3-ingredient Shrimp Cocktail Dip is at your service.
So while I may not be able to get the little shrimp cocktail glasses I remember so well, 3-ingredient Shrimp Cocktail Dip certainly lives up to the shrimp dip of my childhood memories.
