'Shrimp On The Brain' Cracker Spread
A creamy shrimp party dip, with a devilishly spooky look.
Ingredients
- 1 10 oz can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 8 oz pkg cream cheese, softened
- 1 pkg unflavored gelatin
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/3 cup thinly sliced green onions
- 2 cups cooled, cooked shrimp, roughly chopped
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 tsp hot sauce
- cocktail sauce
- crisp, sturdy crackers
Instructions
- Whisk together the gelatin and water until completely dissolved. Set aside.
- In a large skillet, over medium heat, stir together the cream cheese and soup until completely incorporated and smooth.
- Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the gelatin mixture until completely incorporated. Gently fold in the remaining ingredients.
- Lightly spray the inside of a brain shaped mold with non stick cooking spray. Pour the dip mixture into the upended mold. Cover the mold tightly with cling wrap, and refrigerate until set-- at least 4 hours, or overnight.
- When ready to serve, turn the mold right side up and out onto a serving plate or dish to release it. Spread a bit of cocktail sauce over the top of your 'brain' to bloody it up. Insert a cheese 'knife' or small steak knife into the top for added presentation (optional).
- Serve with extra cocktail sauce and crackers for dipping/spreading.
