Because dairy is good for you…
Spicy Shrimp Dip
- 12-14 fresh, medium-sized shrimp
- 2-3 tsp Old Bay Seasoning
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temp
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup finely chopped celery
- 1/2 cup finely chopped red onion
- 2 fresh jalapenos, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp pepper
- 1 tsp paprika
Peel and devein shrimp. Chop into small pieces. Heat olive oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. When oil is hot, saute onion until translucent. Add shrimp and cook until pink. Throw in jalapeno and cook until tender. Spoon contents of pan into a bowl. Add wine to pan and deglaze, using a spatula to scrape up bits. In a separate bowl, mix cream cheese and yogurt. Add wine with all the scraped up bits and beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the cooled shrimp and remaining ingredients. Mix by hand until incorporated. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve with pita chips, tortillas or those fancy crackers that cost more than a Starbucks latte.

A fancy container indeed!
Anything out of that must taste yummy
Heavenly dip and I love your dip container!

We don’t get Old Bay seasoning – what could I replace it with?
A Cajun blend will work in a pinch.
Thanks very much,
We had spicy shrimp tonight too.
This looks yummy. I LOVE shrimp! What is Old Bay seasoning?
There definitely seems to be a divide between those who’ve had it and those who haven’t did you see Charles’ comment.
I have a few awards for you on my blog
Mmm, what can I say? It’s dip, it’s got shrimp and it’s spicy – all my favourite things! Bet it’s delicious. Never tried a dip with shrimp in before but this looks like it’s going to be tried next time I have some friends over
That sounds delicious – I bet it would be the most popular appetizer at any party.
I agree with everyone on this – looks wonderful, and the pot is stunning too. Am looking forward to finding out with the others what Old Bay Seasoning is. Sounds very exotic and romantic – love the name!
For those wondering, it seems it’s a brand:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_Bay_Seasoning. It seems to be a mix of:
mustard, paprika, celery seed, bay leaf, both black and red pepper, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, nutmeg, cardamom, salt, mace and ginger.
Sounds yummy, I must say
Thanks for the link!
We’re always looking for yummy things to take our friends for Sunday afternoon gatherings, this looks perfect. I grew up with my dad boiling a big pot of shrimp with Old Bay — that was it: just Old Bay and shrimp! We always looked forward to that meal, it’s a wonderful combination.
I’ll have to bookmark this one for graduation and birthday parties coming up. Need to look for the Old Bay when I go out. Thank you.
It’s probably in your seafood section. We grew up in Maryland, where it’s made, so we have a special fondness/appreciation for it.
I bet that is a chip and dip dish from way back as I think my mom had one very similar! This is an interesting recipe having the shrimp sauted and reduced with the wine, definitely would intensify the flavors than a dip that was simply blended together. Gotta try this one!
My wife’s friend got that for her at a flea market. It’s definitely old, we’re just not sure how old.
I love the look of this dip. Yum!
I almost forgot seafood makes me sick – you make it look so DELICIOUS!
Never met a dip that I didn’t like. I am totally trying this one. Great recipe!
I love that dip container [and would like to try what's in it too]
Oh, this dip looks super delicious! I love simple dips for summer….I can’t wait to give this a try!
I am sold on any recipe that has seafood. Need to give this a try next time i have a BBQ
Shrimp and old bay.. I love it. You know I am making this right? So delicious that my mouth is watering.
Best way to eat them. There’s definitely an Old Bay following on the East Coast. I need to explain what it is next time to those who aren’t from the midAtlantic!
This sounds dangerously addictive. Yum.
You can (almost) never go wrong with Old Bay!
yum! this looks so good! shrimp, cream cheese, wine, chips… ugh! reading this is making me hungry!!!
Yummm this looks great. Can’t go wrong using wine as an ingredient. I’m really loving the chip plate/dip bowl. Too pretty/cool!
hey i had a question about shrimp…off topic but how does one cook shrimps but prevent their shrinkage???
The water was cold! Sorry, that term makes me think of George Costanza. It’s just a natural byproduct of cooking.
Ha!
That looks delicious!
Mmm, this looks creamy and amazing! It reminds me of a shrimp salad but in dip form. I think I may make this even though my bf doesn’t like shrimp…more for me
Yes!! No mayo = my kind of dip!!! Sounds and looks delicious.
My wife HATES mayo!
Mmm shrimp dip. I don’t think I’ve ever heard of Old Bay seasoning, but I’ll definitely be on the lookout for it on my next grocery trip!
What a great dip, this will become easily my favourite!
That looks wicked good. I could see making it a little thinner and using it as a topping for a nice grilled steak. Thanks for the idea!
