Succulent Shrimp/Prawn Spread (No Bake) image

Simple, savory, sweet, spicy (that is up to you)... I can't even guess how many times I have whipped up this quick spread for guests with rave reviews. This is one of my favorite appetizer dishes because it is so easy and has so much flavor. I use my own recipe for cocktail sauce (#287829 Kicked Up Cocktail Sauce) with this recipe but you can also used bottled..

Time 20m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise (or Salad dressing)
3 cups shrimp (cooked and roughly chopped) or 3 cups prawns (cooked and roughly chopped)
1 cup seafood cocktail sauce (I use this Kicked up Cocktail Sauce)
2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 green bell pepper, chopped fine
3 green onions, chopped
1 tomatoes, medium size seeded and diced
8 prawns, cooked with tails on for presentation (optional)

Steps:

  • Cream the first 3 ingredients together in a bowl. Spread over a 12 inch (30 cm) pizza pan or flat platter. (Note: I like to make a small lip around the edge so all the toppings stay inside).
  • Scatter shrimp over cheese mixture. Add the rest of the ingredients sprinkled in these layers over cheese mixture and shrimp/prawns. Seafood cocktail sauce (spread around), mozzarella cheese, green peppers, green onions and tomato.
  • Place presentation prawns over top of the spread.
  • Best served with crackers (I like Wheat Thins).
