Shrimp Dip

This version of the classic Shrimp Dip from the 70’s is healthier, while keeping the same great flavors. If you’ve ever had this retro dip, this will be a blast from the past!

My mother used to make this Shrimp Dip with tomato soup, cream cheese and gelatin when I was growing up. She would mix the ingredients together, pour it into a mold and refrigerate it until time to serve. It was tasty and we had it for almost every holiday and special occasions.

Why you’ll love this recipe for Shrimp Dip

I wanted to give the recipe a healthy update. I don’t use a mold now when I make this dip, I simply omit the gelatin and serve it chilled in a bowl with fresh cut vegetables and crisp crackers. It’s still delicious, but much easier to make and has fewer calories.

What kind of shrimp to use in Shrimp Dip

Back in the day, my mother would use cocktail shrimp–tiny shrimp found in the frozen foods section of the grocery store. Because I have access to local fresh shrimp, I use larger shrimp.

I boil them for about two minutes in water with Old Bay seasoning, then I chop them and add them to the dip. Both options will work well in this recipe.
