Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 8 ounce package cream cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 4 ounce cans small shrimp, drained well
1 250ml jar seafood cocktail sauce
1 green bell pepper (diced)
4 green onions (diced)
1 large tomato (diced)
2 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese (mixed)
Two boxes of plain Ritz Crackers

Steps:

  • Beat together the cream cheese, sour cream and mayo until smooth and creamy. Spread out on a large plate with an edge or in a 9x13 pan.
  • Spread the seafood sauce over the cream cheese mixture gently.
  • Sprinkle the shrimp over top of the sauce in an even layer.
  • Layer the remaining ingredients however you like. I usually go green peppers, tomatoes, a little cheese, green onions and then the rest of the cheese.
  • Refrigerate until serving.
  • Serve with Ritz crackers for the BEST taste, but this also works with tortilla chips!

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 ounces to 1 pound of salad shrimp, cooked and peeled (i buy it frozen from walmart), set aside 2 tbsp. of the shrimp
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
2 Tbsp sour cream
2 tsp worcestershire sauce
1 tsp lemon juice (real lemon juice brand or squeezed from a fresh lemon)
1/2 tsp ground cayenne pepper
1 tsp minced garlic or 2 fresh minced garlic cloves
1 (12 oz) bottle shrimp cocktail sauce
1/2 c green onions, chopped
1/2 c green bell pepper, diced
2 cups finely shredded mozzarella cheese
*optional* half jar of pimentos for added color and appeal
*optional* 1/2 cup of sliced ripe olives

Steps:

  • 1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, cayenne pepper and garlic. Mix with an electric mixer until all is thoroughly blended together.
  • 2. Spread the mixture on bottom of a glass 8X8X2 (or slightly larger) serving dish.
  • 3. Pour and spread bottle of Shrimp Cocktail Sauce atop the cheese and spice, herb mix. Next, drain any excess water from your clean, cooked, thawed shrimp and place on top of the cocktail sauce.
  • 4. Now add all fresh vegetables atop your shrimp and top off with the finely shredded mozzarella cheese mixed with pimento and sliced ripe olives. (I do not usually use the pimento and ripe olives unless it for a fancy party.) GARNISH with the reserved shrimp sprinkled atop the Mozzarella dish. (Please do not forget this step because some people are allergic to shellfish.) Chill and serve with Ritz Crackers or crackers of your choice.
  • 5. *OPTIONAL* If you do not have Shrimp Cocktail Sauce, but you have chili sauce, substitute it and serve with tortilla chips, corn chips etc...

5-LAYER SEAFOOD APPETIZER

This makes a pretty presentation at a cocktail party, and everyone loves it. Definitely best if made with fresh shrimp or crab. For overnight ballgame trips, I often take each layer prepared in separate bags or plastic containers, and assemble the morning before the football games.
