I made this today. Boiled half a pound fresh local shrimp in Zatarain's liquid shrimp and crab boil. Peeled and pulsed until minced in food processor. Used entire package of the italian seasoning and an additional tsp. Lemon juice. I added fresh chopped dill and parsley from my herb garden. Some kind of yummy!! -
This is the same dip my Aunt Linda makes at family functions, but she uses the whole package of seasoning instead of 1/2. We love it with wheat thins! -
I also have made this dip for years and took it on boat trips.....good with crackers or vegetables

Greetings! I live in western Wisconsin with my wonderful husband, 2 dogs, 3 cats, 4 horses, 1 mule and an Amazon parrot. My husband is a Certified Natural Hoof Care Practitioner and Field Instructor which keeps him very, very busy. I am a nurse and have been working in an elementary school since 1989. We have two grown sons. Our older son is an Air Force Academy graduate and pilot (engaged to be married in October 2006) and our younger son is working on a degree in Marketing.
My husband and I love to travel and camp in our 5th wheel trailer or spend time at our cabin in northern Minnesota.
I love spending time with my family and friends. I am an avid reader, belong to a local book club, and I never go anywhere without a book.
In my free time, I enjoy going to movies, traveling and shopping with my girlfriends, collecting and displaying my Department 56 Snow Village pieces, adding to my Wizard of Oz collection, taking cooking classes, collecting cookbooks, playing cards and board games and at present, I am a member of three 500 card clubs.
However, my real passion is cooking!!
