Kay's Shrimp Dip


I have not made this recipe in 18 years because 18 years ago, I suddenly developed a severe allergy to shellfish, but I am posting this recipe today because it is something I always made for my first husband Cecil (Today would have been his 68th birthday). He loved it so much. It is easy and everyone used to ask me to bring it to every party. Please try it and let me know if it is still as good as everyone once said.


1 lb shrimp, peeled, de-veined and boiled only with salt and chopped into small pieces
1 8oz. cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup mayonnaise or sour cream (Cecil preferred mayo to sour cream)
1/2 cup finely diced yellow onion
1/2 cup finely chopped green onion
2 Tablespoons parsley flakes
3 T fresh lemon juice
1/2 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper

Using a mixer, blend mayo/sour cream and cream cheese. Add shrimp and blend until smooth. Add all other ingredients (except a handful of green onions that you will sprinkle on top of dip). Mix for about 2 minutes.


This is great with crackers but we enjoyed it with fresh vegetables.
