Spinach And Shrimp Dip Recipes

Steps:

• Place spinach in a large bowl; sprinkle with garlic powder and toss. Place shrimp in a bowl; sprinkle with black pepper and toss.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp; cook and stir until bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, about 5 minutes. Add spinach, cook and stir until just wilted, about 1 minute.

Steps:

• 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.

Steps:

• Place cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan& mayonnaise in microwave safe 2 1/2 quart casserole.
• Heat in microwave 2-3 minutes to melt cheeses;stir occasionally and blend ingredients.
• Meanwhile, squeeze spinach dry.
• Pat shrimp dry with paper towel.
• Stir shrimp, spinach& artichoke hearts into cheese mixture.
• Bake 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Drop the shrimp into a pot of boiling water and cook just until the shrimp turn pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Let cool and chop. Set aside. In a heavy saucepan, over low heat, mix together the cream cheese, heavy cream, 4 tablespoons of the butter, and garlic. Cook, stirring, until the cream cheese is melted. Add the Jack cheese, lemon pepper, lemon juice, paprika, and salt and pepper to taste, and stir until cheese is melted. Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in another saucepan. Squeeze out any water remaining in the thawed spinach. Add the spinach and cook, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain the spinach and add it to the cream cheese mixture. Stir and simmer for 5 to 8 minutes. Add the shrimp. Serve the dip in a chafing dish along with toast points or French bread for dipping.

Steps:

• 1. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DAY BEFORE PREP TO ALLOW FLAVORS TO ENHANCE!
• 2. Prep shallots by peeling and chopping in food processor. Rinse and drain shrimp and artichokes and then rough cut by hand. (You want small pieces so every bite gets some.) Pull stems & Julienne cut spinach, cover and put in refrigerator.
• 3. In a medium stock pot, combine half & half and wine and bring to a SLOW boil over a medium flame stirring frequently. Just before boiling, start the next step.
• 4. In a large high side rondo or skillet sauté butter and shallots until translucent.
• 5. Add the flour to the butter/shallot mixture mixing until all the flour is absorbed by the butter and cook for 2-3 minutes stirring constantly.
• 6. Add the heated half and half mixture once boiling, all at once, to the shallot mix, stirring constantly with a wire whip making sure there is no lumps.
• 7. Continue stirring while bringing the mixture back to a slow boil and cook for three minutes stirring constantly.
• 8. Add the shrimp, artichokes, sea salt, black pepper and cayenne pepper and bring to a boil. Cook for an additional 3 minutes until shrimp are thoroughly cooked stirring constantly so the mixture doesn't scorch.
• 9. Remove from heat and transfer to either one large shallow pan (2" deep) or two smaller shallow pans and let cool to room temp stirring occasionally to release the heat.
• 10. Cover and store in refrigerator overnight.
• 11. Once cooled and before baking, fold in spinach. Top with mozzarella and parmesan cheese and a couple of dashes of paprika for color and bake at 375 degrees until bubbling and cheese has browned a little. (You may need to put under the broiler for a few seconds once mix bubbles if cheese isn't browned)
• 12. Serve with bias cut French bread that has been drizzled with olive oil & toasted in 375 degree oven. Or crackers work too in a pinch, but I prefer hot bread.
• 13. Mangia!
