It’s just a little bit spicy but can easily be spiced up a lot more. This easy to make dip tastes great served with toasted pita wedges, crackers, tortilla chips of veggie sticks.

If you have leftovers, they taste great on a baked potato or as an omellet filling. It also tastes amazing mixed in with pasta.

How To Make Cheesy Spinach and Shrimp Dip

  • Cook some onion and garlic in butter until soft.
  • Make a simple roux by adding flour and then slowly stirring in the cream.
  • Add Worcestershire sauce, Creole seasoning, crushed red pepper flakes and a pinch of nutmeg for seasoning.
  • Next, stir in the cheese until melted.
  • Stir in the sour cream and spinach leaves, and then the shrimp. Since the shrimp are chopped into small pieces, they will have plenty of time to cook in the oven. Be sure the spinach is chopped up quite a bit or it will make scooping the dip difficult.
  • Bake for 15 minutes to get the shrimp cooked and the dip bubbly and golden.

How To Serve

This dip is great with toasted bagutte, pita chips, tortilla chips, or crackers. For a low carb appetizer, you can serve it with pork rinds or veggie sticks.

Storage

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2 to 3 days. Seafood is very perishable so I don’t like to keep it for any longer than that.
