Dottie's shrimp spread recipe, made with cream cheese and pimiento-stuffed olives, along with mayonnaise and seasonings.

Ingredients:

  • 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 (4 1/4 oz.) can shrimp, drained and chopped
  • 6 pimiento-stuffed olives, chopped
  • 2 Tbsp. finely chopped onion
  • 2 Tbsp. mayonnaise or salad dressing
  • 1 tsp. lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/4 tsp. hot sauce
  • 1/8 tsp. garlic powder

Preparation:

Combine all ingredients; refrigerate 30 minutes. Form into ball or log shape. Serve with crackers or rounds of bread. Can garnish with parsley or sliced green or black olives I often leave out the chopped olives.

Dottie's Note: Living here in FL. I have even used fresh boiled shrimp chopped fine and have added some sharp cheddar cheese chopped or grated fine in with the cream cheese mixture.Just add a little more mayonnaise I usually put the cream cheese and cheddar in the food processor and chop them fine. I've also used whole green onions in place of the regular onion.

"I had shrimp left over from a party and all the other ingredients in the house! I wasn't sure about the taste with the assortment of ingredients, but it was delicious. The group I shared it with are pretty ""basic"" eaters, but even they loved it! Thank you."
