Mexican Shrimp Dip Recipes

SPICY CREAM CHEESE AND SHRIMP DIP

Steps:

• Whip softened cream cheese in a food processor for approximately 2 minutes, or until fluffy and no lumps are present.
• Add salsa and cilantro leaves.
• Blend again for approximately 1 minute, until mixture is an even color.
• Add shrimp and mix only long enough to incorporate into mixture (over mixing will cause shrimp to break up into small pieces).
• Transfer mixture to glass bowl or serving dish and refrigerate for approximately one hour.
• Garnish with a few cilantro leaves.
• Serve chilled with corn chips.

SHRIMP CON QUESO

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat.
• Add the onion and jalapeno and cook, stirring often, until the onion is translucent, about 4 minutes.
• Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring often, until they give off their juices and they evaporate, about 5 minutes.
• (The mixture should look somewhat dry.) Add the milk and bring to a simmer.
• In a medium bowl, toss the Monterey Jack and Cheddar with the cornstarch.
• Stir the cheese into the milk mixture, a handful at a time, stirring with the hot sauce.
• Transfer to a mini crockpot or fondue pot.
• Serve warm, with the tortilla chips for dipping.

SHRIMP SALSA

Steps:

• Stir the salad shrimp, tomatoes, onion, cilantro, lime juice, salt, pepper, and garlic together in a large glass bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the flavors combine, at least 1 hour. Serve cold.
