This is a great dip. I made it as written, except I used full fat cream cheese. It was a huge hit. More fancy than the usual taco dip. I used full fat cream cheese, but would probably use light next time, only because it was rich. I served it with water crackers, but saltines would have been fine as well. It would also be fine to leave off the cheddar cheese, as it tastes like a shrimp cocktail. Thanks for sharing a wonderful recipe.

Wow, BeachGirl!! This dip was muy delicious. I used fresh shrimp and can't wait to try it again with fresh crab. This was supper for my husband and me. Between the two of us, there wasn't much left. Very addictive and I agree, this would be a wonderful dip for any party occasion. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
