Ingredients
1/2 pound small shrimp, chopped
6 ounces lump crab meat
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese
3 green onions, finely chopped
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the chopped shrimp, lump crab meat, softened cream cheese, and mayonnaise.
- Add the sharp cheddar cheese, finely chopped green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Stir everything together until the mixture is smooth and well mixed.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld.
- Optional: Garnish with additional shrimp and chopped green onions before serving.
Notes
Use pre-cooked shrimp and canned or fresh lump crab for convenience.
For a spicier dip, add hot sauce or extra Cajun seasoning.
Substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise for a lighter option.
Best served with crackers, chips, or fresh veggies.
Not suitable for freezing due to the cream cheese base.
