I made this for a party and with 6 adults we had it gone in 15 minutes. We all sat at the table and snarfed it down! It was so easy to make and tastes so good. I highly recommend this to everyone. I will be making this again. -
I made this for a party and it was a big hit. It is much better the next day so definitely make it one day in advance. My cream cheese was lumpy and looked like cottage cheese in the dip which a few people commented on and it was a real turn-off, so next time I'll beat the cream cheese first with an electric mixer until it's creamy before I add the other ingredients. The recipe didn't specifically state to drain the cans of shrimp, but they must be drained. The dip was a bit salty the first day but seemed less salty the next day. This is a keeper! -
I've made this several times before and it's always a big hit! My variation: I omit the ketchup and horseradish from the dip and serve cocktail sauce on the side. That way people can layer the dip and sauce on a cracker and enjoy! Also, I add a pinch of garlic powder to my dip. Thanks for sharing this simple, tasty recipe!

This dip is wonderful!!!I made it for a Marti Gras party and everyone wanted the recipe.Used 1 can of canned shrimp(well drained) and a 8oz. frozen bag of small shrimp thawed and cut up. Also used a red onion, and some cajun seasoning. Will be making this often for pot lucks.

Even with all the great reviews about the dip, I was skeptical about how good it really was. But I made it anyway and it was a HIT! I couldn't believe it. I made some adjustments, I used shallots instead of white or yellow onions, added two tablespoons of sour cream to make it more creamy and skipped the horseradish and added a dash or two of hot sauce. I made this as an appetizer for Thanksgiving. Instead of people going for seconds on turkey they went for seconds and thirds on the dip. Thank you for the great recipe. -
EXCELLENT! Per other reviews I did blend cream cheese til smooth before adding other ingredients. Didn't have horseradish on hand so I used dijon mustard to taste instead. Used red onion and chopped precooked shrimp in mini chopper and then added large pieces of shrimp to dip.So it was a DOUBLE shrimp dip! Awesome!! I followed the recipe for everything else. I tried it and it was really really good, then I added some old bay to taste and it was EVEN better.

Great tasting dip! I made this for a New Year's Eve get together with friends. Made a huge bowl, but I'm glad it did as I have some leftover to snack on. I actually used canned crab instead of shrimp and it was fantastic even with the change. Also very easy to make. Thanks for sharing! -
We loved this dip. I made it to take with us out on the boat. I made it the same morning and it tasted just fine. I thought I had horseradish but didn't; so I substituted horseradish sauce. I also substituted Italian Seasoning for the dill. I didn't have dill and neither one of us is a big fan of dill. Very good. Thanks for sharing.
