Notes
- Want to make this dip even easier to throw together? You can toss the shrimp with the seasoning, and then stir it together with the sauce before spreading the mixture over the cream cheese layer.
- While shrimp cocktail isn't served warm, you could warm this dip in the oven (just long enough to knock the chill off!) if cold dips aren't to your liking.
- I prefer using fresh or frozen cooked shrimp, but you can sub the canned tiny shrimp. If using them, there's no need to chop them but do make sure to drain them well.
- Want to spice things up? You can mix a little horseradish or Tabasco sauce in with your shrimp cocktail sauce before adding it to the dip.
