    This is the easiest, most flavorful dips you can offer your family and friends. I looks like you spend big when the shrimp go along way. ( The shrimp cost $5.00 at WalMart for a 12 OZ pkg and you use half of it.)  AND it is beautiful!    Although that is not how it appears in my photo.  My husband started in on it while I was getting my phone to take a photo.  I will replace this photo when I make it again.

    This is my Mom’s go-to holiday dip.  Christmas would not have been Christmas without this being devoured.  The wonderful woman would make a double batch,  we would fill up on it and then she would be angry because we weren’t appropriately hungry for her dinner. How could that be!

    This is rich and thick.  The Mom would serve it with potato chips, but I prefer a sturdy cracker – as you can see I use a Ritz type cracker or a club cracker.  I also place a spreader or spoon for easy access.  The potato chips are good but they break too much for me..bowl starts to look like a battle ground of broken pieces.

    I like to service this in a clear bowl ( this one is from Dollar Tree) so that the color shows off and does a ‘Look at Me’.  I also like to pass on the low fat ingredients. Hey it is a celebration and you’re not eating the entire bowl yourself.  But if you do I won’t get all judgie-eyed on you. Besides if no one sees you it doesn’t count right?

    So enjoy my Mom’s Shrimp Dip..
