Spinach-Shrimp Dip
"Last summer I created this variation on the classic Knorr Spinach Dip ... and it was gone in a flash. Try it; it's really yummy. Don't expect any to be left."
- Ready In:
- 3hrs
- Ingredients:
- 9
- Serves:
-
12-16
ingredients
- 1 (10 ounce) package chopped frozen spinach
- 1 cup low-fat sour cream
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon horseradish
- 1 package Knorr vegetable soup mix (no substitutes)
- 1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, well drained and chopped
- 4 tablespoons finely chopped red onions
- 2 cups cooked peeled baby shrimp
- 1 loaf pumpernickel bread (round loaf)
directions
- Thaw the spinach, then squeeze out as much water as possible.
- Combine spinach, sour cream, mayonnaise and horseradish in a mixing bowl; you can also do this in a food processor if you like a more pureed consistency (I often do it by hand, or do it VERY CAREFULLY in the food processor so as not to over-process).
- Stir in the dry soup mix, the chopped water chestnuts and the onion; stir well.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let flavours meld.
- Before serving, stir shrimp into dip mixture.
- Cut off the top of the loaf of bread and hollow it out, reserving the lid and the inner bread chunks to serve alongside.
- Fill hollowed bread shell with dip and serve with the bread, cut into chunks, along with an assortment of crackers and carrot sticks.
- People are drawn to this; watch it disappear!

Fabulous! I made this dip just like the recipe. It makes a lot of dip, so be sure to have some friends to help you scarff if down. -
Oh Lennie this was the beat dip I ever made!! Had it for Christmas and everybody raved! -
Lennie, this dip has such a great taste! I made this today for the boat and everyone wanted to know where I got the recipe. Of course it's from Zaar DH said! I really like the horseradish taste in this, I think next time I'll add a tad more. Thanks so much for sharing this scrumptious dip we sure enjoyed it. I served it with pumpernickle little breads and crackers. -
I made this for New Years Eve potluck and it went over very well. I was going to make the traditional spinach dip anyway and my SIL loves shrimp, so how could I go wrong? I used regular sour cream and bought a package of uncooked tiger shrimp which I steamed and cut up into the recipe. Nice to have a little variety on a good old standby! Thanks Lennie. -
I made this during the week of Christmas and it was a huge success. I made it just as you directed and it looked very nice in the pumpernickel bread shell. Excellent flavor and you are right, there was none left-over. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

I have been sharing recipes here at Recipezaar since October 2001. You won't see me around anymore, although if you're an old-school Zaarite you'll remember that in the past, you couldn't shut me up!
