Debbie’s Shrimp Dip

Posted by emielli on Sunday, November 23, 2008

My mom actually adapted this recipe from one her friend gave her, who, more than likely, found it online. Really, my mom just changed the type of cheese and added the diced tomatoes, which lightened up the flavor some. Note: this dip is addictive. The more you let it sit, the more the flavors mix!

Debbie’s Shrimp Dip

1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese (leave out to soften)
½ cup Cocktail sauce (more or less to taste)
Salad Shrimp (frozen, already cooked shrimp – defrosted, or regular-sized shrimp sliced up)
Diced Tomatoes (real tomatoes, not canned)
Shredded Parmesan Cheese

Soften and spread cream cheese in bottom of bowl.
Mix shrimp with some cocktail sauce.
Spread over cream cheese.
Top with grated Parmesan & tomatoes.
Refrigerate 1-2 hours.

Super Bowl

Posted by emielli on Tuesday, February 5, 2008

I watched the Super Bowl this year. Not just for the commercials either (which weren’t that great). I actually paid attention to the game. Though I was rooting for whoever the underdog was, the last quarter was thrilling!

Spinach Dip
1 Package Green Giant Frozen Spinach
1 Jar Tostitos Salsa con Queso Dip (or your favorite of any brand)
1 Package Cream Cheese, cubed.

Prepare the spinach per directions on the back of the box. Drain the spinach (the drier, the better). Over a medium-low heat, combine the salsa and cream cheese, along with the spinach. Stir until everything is combined (10 or so minutes). Place into a serving bowl, grab a bag of chips, and devour!
