Ingredients

8 ounces cream cheese , at room temperature
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream

3 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9-inch cast iron skillet (or baking dish) with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise and sour cream. Stir in 1/2 cup of the Monterey Jack cheese, Parmesan, scallions, Worcestershire, hot sauce, and garlic powder; and a little sprinkle of salt and pepper to taste. Gently fold in the salad shrimp.

Notes

Adjust the heat level. If you want to make a spicy shrimp dip, add some more hot sauce or sprinkle in some cayenne pepper. You could even add in some diced jalapenos.

Use different shrimp. You can use canned shrimp, or if you want to use raw shrimp, cook it yourself and then dice it into smaller pieces. The key is very small pieces that can be evenly distributed throughout the dip and make it easier to eat.

Add different seasonings. In place of the garlic powder, you can try this dip with other seasonings like Old Bay or Cajun seasoning
