Parmesan Shrimp Dip
This Parmesan Shrimp Dip is very simple, incredibly delicious, and perfect for a casual family night. It’s creamy, cheesy and loaded with chopped shrimp.
We had a tough work week around here, I won’t go into any specifics but we needed some time to relax a have a little fun. Hubby invited his friend over and decided to order us pizza. Day off from cooking! I like it when he invites his friends over because they are so appreciative of my cooking.
I think hubby is a little spoiled with the great meals and doesn’t make as many yummy noise as his friends. How else is a cook supposed to know that she made something delicious without the yummy noise? So I decided to make something quick and easy for an appetizer.
I really didn’t feel like having pizza, I wanted shrimp! You know how sometimes you go out to eat and some appetizers look so good, you just make a meal out of it? I do that all the time. I also make myself easy seafood when I don’t have to worry about anyone else’s dinner. Hubby doesn’t like seafood, so it was all mine….well his friend helped.

This looks great! I’m so glad I found you on Monday Funday.
Iyuba! You succeeded in making me smile just with the pictures. Looks yummy!
Oh goodie!! Thank you 🙂
BTW, I love following your blog…you have some super recipes! This one is no exception!
Thank you so much Diane 🙂
I plan several weeks worth of menus at one time, mixing tried and true recipes with new ones. Then, when I got shopping, I pick two of the menus (hubby gets paid every 2 weeks!) and make my grocery list based on that. I plan which meals I’ll make when based on our schedule. I freeze leftovers in individual portions so we can all grab what we want on crazy nights or when I just need a break from cooking. Leftovers don’t become science experiments in the fridge and anyone wanting a quick meal has one.
I make 2 or 3 different types of cookie dough, then flash freeze them in the portion I used to make the cookie. When we want fresh baked cookies, I pull out the number I need, bake them and we’re set in just a few minutes!
Several weeks? Now that is a discipline and organization skills that I need 🙂
Thank you for coming by and good luck!
Great blog! I find you so inspiring and cannot wait to try some of your recipes out!!
Wow, that is so sweet! Thank you!
I plan my meals out every week. I also decide what meals to have the night before and I also try and use the slow cooker as much as possible.
I used to plan weekly meals too. Somehow, I got away from that but I need to start doing it again 🙂
Thank you and good luck!
This shrimp dip looks and sounds delicious. My last guy didn’t like shrimp either, so now I can enjoy shrimp again, and this will be one of the ways to do so. I live alone, so I cook meals, then split them up into single servings and freeze, so when I do my long week at work, 7 days straight, I have easy meals to just reheat.
Great idea 🙂 Thank you very much and good luck!
Love your blog. The giveaway is great. I could use all the items….
Thank you very much! Good luck!
I love seafood and this dip reminds me of a crab dip I had at Phillips in Annapolis. I can’t wait to try it.
I hope you do! Thank you 🙂
I always have a good set of basic fresh ingredients on hand–things that are easily combinable to create quick dinners!
Agreed! Thank you and good luck!
I am usually adventerous and will try new recipes, but once I love them, they stay in my repertoire! Always good to have a tried and true staple of recipes! This may be added to that list!
Thank you very much. I agree, I love the old favorites too.
That looks delicious, Can’t wait to try it.
thank you, hope you do!
