This one's right up my alley. I make something similar with tuna but the shrimp sounds even more delicious…. :-)
ReplyDeleteYummy Yummy Yummy! This is something we have every holiday!
ReplyDeleteI think what you're sayin' is that it's good on any and everything! That's what I'm sayin'!
ReplyDeleteThis is party food! Or any time appetizer chow. I see this making it way to my patio
ReplyDeleteYou had me at the fried green tomatoes!!!
ReplyDeleteI love this stuff. I mean, really, really love it. Like once I start eating it, I can't stop. Heck, I'd probably even put it on cornbread :-)
ReplyDeleteHi Drick,
ReplyDeleteI love that recipe! I haven't had shrimp dip in quite some time, but that is truly a favorite. I wanted to let you know that I checked Ralph Brennan's cookbook and there are several crab recipes, but not the one you mentioned. Guess I might have to track that dish down in New Orleans later this month! ;)

Mmm ... and Gulf shrimp of course!! This sounds fabulous. Thanks for stopping by the blog again. It is my pleasure to let people know about Gulf shrimp and supporting domestic fishing. : )
ReplyDeleteOh yum! You know how I love shrimp and this dip looks scrumptious! Think I'll make up a double batch for my house guests who have decided to stay a few more days! Merci for the great recipe, cher!
ReplyDeleteOh I must try this! This would have been amazing along side the massive wedding BBQ feast this past weekend! Absolutely fantastic!
