The Best Homemade Shrimp Dip Recipe

So for this recipe, first and foremost, you need delicious shrimp. So I started by visiting my local grocery store to pick up some SeaPak Marinated Shrimp.

Meijer always has what I need at great prices and the stores are always very clean, so we really prefer to shop there. My kids love Meijer’s bakery department and I really love their selection and customer service. We went into their frozen food section and grabbed a box of SeaPak Lighthouse Selection Marinated Shrimp.

Next up, grab the rest of your ingredients: mayonnaise, cream cheese, onion powder, and celery. I also picked up a box of crackers to use for the dip!

Here’s where the fun starts…start by preparing your shrimp according to the box. I baked it at 375 degrees for 15 minutes, flipping the shrimp half way through. After it bakes, you’ll want to pull it from the oven and dice it up on a cutting board for the dip.

After my shrimp was chopped up, I mixed together the finishing ingredients–softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, chopped celery and onion powder. Once all mixed, I gently stirred in the shrimp, then put it in a bowl to chill.

Once well mixed, I put it in a small bowl with some crackers around it and set it out for my family to snack on. Everyone loved it and it was no work at all for me to make! Such a great and simple seafood appetizer idea!

This is the perfect cookout appetizer idea or weekend snack! It will feed a whole crew and will take you under 20 minutes to make (including baking time!).

Here’s the full recipe….enjoy!!
