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 know it would get gobbled up quickly in our house! It’s very similar to a crab dip that we like.

I try to make meals easier by preparing my ingredients in advance.

My favorite tip is to clean as you go. I find it so much easier as I’m getting meals ready to clean a knife, cutting board, pan, etc. quickly while it’s ‘fresh’ and not dried on, and then it’s nicer to sit down to a meal with half the clean-up already done!
Thanks for the chance to win! I LOVE that cutting board/colander!!!

I like to prepare parts of dinner earlier in the day to make things run smoother when I get home from work and have too many other things to deal with over cutting carrots or seasoning meats.
