Description
A creamy and flavorful shrimp dip perfect for serving with fresh veggies.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz. cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 3/4 cup sour cream (or for more protein you can use cottage cheese that’s pureed in the food processor)
- 2 tsp. fresh lemon juice
- 2 tsp. Beau Monde Seasoning (or celery salt, see notes)
- 2 tsp. dried dill weed (see notes)
- 1/2 cup finely chopped green onions
- 1 cup chopped red bell pepper (one large pepper, cut in pieces about 3/8 inch)
- 2 cups frozen cooked shrimp, thawed and cut in pieces about 3/8 inch
- Fresh low-carb veggies to serve with the dip such as celery, red pepper strips, sugar snap peas, cauliflower, broccoli, jicama, etc.
Instructions
- Let shrimp thaw overnight in refrigerator, then drain well. If they seem wet, wrap them in a paper towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
- Use food processor to blend together the cream cheese, sour cream, lemon juice, Beau Monde Seasoning (or celery salt), and dried dill weed. Remove from food processor and place into a mixing bowl.
- Stir in chopped green onion and chopped bell pepper, then gently fold in shrimp.
- Chill dip for at least an hour before serving for best flavor.
- Serve the Shrimp Dip with celery, red pepper strips, sugar snap peas, cauliflower, broccoli, jicama, or other veggie dippers of your choice.
Notes
- Adjust seasoning according to taste.
- Beau Monde seasoning can be substituted with celery salt.
