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.

I like to plan my week’s menu ahead of time, before I go grocery shopping so that I can maximize use of the ingredients on sale. Then, no vegetables or other foods go to waste or are forgotten.
Great idea, I hate wasting products too 🙂
Good luck!

Love the over the sink cutting board!
Can’t wait to try this recipe. Two of my favs….Shrimp and Parmesan.
love love love shrimp,making this for myself for lunch!!!! thanks:)
The slow cooker is my friend in the kitchen! I also will prep veggies for the entire week sometimes and that helps tons!
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.
Parmesan shrimp dip looks absolutely scrumptious. Can’t wait to try.
Sounds good!
WOW. My husband will love this recipe as he is such a shrimp lover! And a cheese lover. And a dip lover. 🙂 Thanks for sharing! I will be making this very soon!

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!!!
Yummm… this looks and sounds delicious!!
Prepping veggies beforehand makes the actual cooking so much easier.
O yum!! My husband and I love shrimp! I’m going to pin this recipe! Thanks for sharing.
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.
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!
