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.

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!

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.
lyuba says
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.
lyuba says
Great idea 🙂 Thank you very much 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!
lyuba says
Thank you very much. I agree, I love the old favorites too.
