I make this same recipe every year during the Christmas holidays for get-togethers - everyone loves it and can't believe how easy it is to make - I serve it with those little crackers with the poppyseeds in them.. Yum!!

This is great!!! I don't use canned shrimp. I use fresh shrimp and I put the cocktail sauce over the cream cheese and then put the shrimp over the cocktail sauce. It is great for parties!!!

Another attractive way to serve: On crackers, spread a layer of cream cheese, then shrimp mixed with the cocktail sauce, and garnish with green onions.

I'm not a huge fan of shrimp but this shrimp dip is very good. I used 2 cans of shrimp mixed with 1 bottle of zesty chili sauce. I also added approx. 1/2 cup sour cream to the cream cheese for a better texture and for the ease of spreading/scooping. Top this dip off with 2 cups of shredded mild cheddar cheese and use Tostito brand "scoops" for scooping the dip....YUM!!

This is just one of those classic recipes. Simple yet delicious, my mom always made this for company. Instead of layering the ingredients though she mixed it all together into a lovely pink dip. I can never get enough of it.

My mom used to make this dip all the time using either shrimp OR imitation crab. I can't get enough of it and its so easy! Great with either pretzels or wheat thins.

This is a great appetizer- my mom used to make it every thanksgiving and christmas and it was the first thing gone with family asking for more! Only thing she did different was mix the shrimp and cocktail sauce together...good with ritz or club crackers!

I made this dip with Super Al's Cocktail Sauce (found on this site), as I didn't have any in the bottle. I also made a shrimp stock with the shells of fresh shrimp and added it to the mixture. It was great!

I have used this recipe for years & it's excellent! I do prefer to use fresh shrimp. I use wheat thins as a cracker to dip them with... yum! **Please note though, the cocktail sauce can make a world of difference, so make sure you use something you know you like!
