Creamy Shrimp, Spinach and Goat Cheese Dip image

Adapted from a recipe from Firefly Farms, a maker of truly superior artisanal cheeses in Maryland. The cooking time is for thawing the spinach and chilling the dip. You can use reduced fat mayo and you can certainly spice it up some more, but I like the clean fresh taste this has.
