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.
Ingredients
- About 15 medium raw shrimp chopped
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 2 tbs sour cream
- 2 tbs Land-O-Lakes Butter with Canola
- 2 tbs flour
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese
- salt
- 2 tbs Parmesan cheese for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350
- Melt butter in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Mince or grate garlic and add it to the butter. Saute until the garlic starts to brown.
- Whisk in flour until smooth. Whisk in heavy cream, sour cream, Parmesan cheese and a little bit of salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture just starts to boil. Take off heat.
- Cut the shrimp into small pieces and spread them in the baking dish of your choice.
- Pour the cream mixture over the shrimp and sprinkle with more Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 15 minutes.

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!

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.

Prepping veggies beforehand makes the actual cooking so much easier.

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!!!

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 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.
lyuba says
Great idea, I hate wasting products too 🙂
Good luck!
