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.

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!
I liketo freeze my blueberries for winter pancakes and muffins

Thank you so much!
I make weekly meal plans, and shop a few days before the week, buy fresh meat for the next day meal. sometimes I double a recipe for example a new product I’m loving is spouted brown rice. It keeps well for days in fridge. One day I use it as a side dish, the next day might be stir fry or add it to soup etc. I also like to make smoothies with frozen fruit and blend it the night before and everyone has one next day for work snack, breakfast etc. I also purchased up first CSA share last year and have purchased one for this year as well. It’s a great thing to do for the family as you get fresh veggies (or if lucky where you live fruits too) each week. You may get something you haven’t used before or tried, so it gets you experimenting and trying new things. Also time saver for me is going to our butcher and getting meat packed in smaller amounts. OR getting two pounds of fresh ground beef from them and browsing all of it. Then dividing it up for half for that night supper meal and half for next night. I love when I have some of my meal ready, like the brown rice or the meat is cooked, then incase you don’t have a meal planned ( or change your mind) the possibilities are easier and quicker.
Wow, so many great tips! I should try that rice too!
Thank you and good luck!
This looks absolutely heavenly. I love dips and could eat the for an entire meal =o) Thanks for this one.

I like to freeze corn on the cob during the summer so we always have a taste of summer during the cold winter months.
That’s great! Thank you and good luck!
I like to cut up onions and green peppers ahead of time and freeze them, that way if I only need a bit I don’t have to worry about the rest spoiling.
Thanks for the great giveaway!
Great tip! I need to remember that, thank you!
Good luck 🙂
