    This Louisiana Hot Shrimp Dip is delicious and super easy to make. Juicy shrimp are cooked with traditional Creole flavours, cream cheese, sour cream, green onions and bell peppers to make this warm dip.

    This is the perfect appetizer for parties and is a sure fire crowd pleaser. Serve it at your super bowl gathering or as a Mardi Gras appetizer at your Mardi gras party.

    This hot shrimp dip is perfect for any occasion when people are together and they want a delicious creamy snack.

    This hot shrimp dip is great for a party as it serves a crowd, tastes delicious and because this is hot you feel more like you have eaten a meal. (I can't really explain this one - or maybe it is because I pretty much ate half of this bowl all to myself #notevensorry)

    How to make shrimp dip with cream cheese and sour cream

    • Cook the bell peppers and green onion in butter until softened
    • Add in the shrimps and garlic
    • Season generously with creole spices
    • Add cream cheese and sour cream
    • Simmer until warm
    • Add lemon juice
    • Garnish with green onion

    The recipe takes about 15 minutes.

    Can I make Hot Shrimp Dip in advance?

    I have had success with keeping the shrimp dip refrigerated overnight and then heating it up before a party but the shrimp weren't quite as succulent.

    To make this in advance I now cook the dip without the shrimp and keep that refrigerated. Then on the evening when I want to serve, I heat the dip up, fry off the shrimp in a little butter and stir them though the hot dip.

    How to keep a dip warm at a party

    To keep the shrimp dip warm, place two upside down ramekins into the slow cooker. Add boiling water so it comes about halfway up the ramekins. Place the bowl of dip on top of the ramekins.
    The steam from the water will keep the dip warm throughout your party.

    Can I serve this dip cold?

    You sure can! I would suggest serving it at room temperature as when it is straight from the fridge the cream cheese in it, makes it quite hard. It is more of a spread than a dip.

    But 30 minutes after you remove it from the fridge it starts to soften.

    It isn't as soft and luscious as when hot, but it is as delicious ๐Ÿ˜€

    What to dip into Hot Shrimp Dip

    You are going to want to eat a lot of this dip as it is so delicious!!!

    So the vehicle you choose for getting it into your mouth is important.

    For a healthier route (and for those on Keto/ low carb diets)

    • celery batons
    • carrot sticks
    • bell pepper strips
    • chicory leaves/endive leaves
    • cucumber sticks
    • snow peas

    Or go for more substantial vegetables. These will all need to be blanched in boiling water for 2 minutes and then shocked in ice water. This keeps them bright green (save from the cauliflower) and crisp-tender.

    • broccoli florets
    • asparagus spears
    • green beans
    • cauliflower florets

    For those looking for a more carb heavy option

    • toast points (get my step by step guide here.)
    • breadsticks
    • ritz crackers
    • french baguette
    • fingerling potatoes (boiled until fork tender and sliced lengthways)

    Where can I buy Creole Seasoning?

    A quick search on Walmart websiteshows a great choice of Creole seasoning blends. Just check the salt content and salt your dip accordingly.

    But if you have the time, then I make my own Creole seasoning, it is quick to make and keeps for weeks/months in the pantry. Plus you can adapt it to your own tastes.

    I know I have had a few comments to say my creole seasoning is missing cumin. But for me that takes in a a cajun direction. Similar but not quite the same. All that being said, if you can't get creole seasoning or are a big lover of cumin and cajun flavors then cajun seasoning works well here too.

    • Smoked Fish Dip

    Ingredients

    US Customary - Grams
    • 3 green onions/salad onions
    • 1 red bell pepper/red capsicum
    • ยฝ stick butter
    • 1 lb raw shrimp (peeled and cleaned) (see note 1 for sizes)
    • 2 crushed garlic cloves
    • 1 cup cream cheese
    • 3 tablespoon sour cream
    • 1 tablespoon creole seasoning (See note 2)
    • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
    • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
    • salt to taste

    Instructions

    • Chop the spring onion and red capsicum into small dice/rings. Reserve the green part of the spring onion for later.
    • Melt the butter in a saucepan over a medium heat.
    • Add the vegetables to the butter, stir to coat and then cook over a medium heat for 4-5 minutes until softened.
    • Chop the shrimp meat into small chunks. Either in half or thirds if your shrimp are jumbo.
    • Add in the prawns and garlic, stir well and cook for 2 minutes until the prawns have turned pink.
    • Stir in the cream cheese, sour cream and creole seasoning.
    • Bring to a simmer and then cook for 2 minutes until everything is thick and creamy.
    • Stir in the lemon juice and parsley then check the seasoning.

    Notes

    1. For this shrimp dip I choose smaller shrimps. Ideally looking at something that comes in at 40/50 count.
    2. I use my own Homemade Creole Seasoning blend. You can get the recipe here.
    Nutritional information excludes any bread/crackers/vegetable batons.

      I've made this dip countless times and it is a family favorite. Sometimes, just to mix it up a bit, I'll add shredded mozzarella at the very end. It's delicious both ways. Thanks for sharing it!

      Hi there. I'm just a little confused. After doing a search for shrimp dips, your recipe and website displayed and showed a 5/5 stars from 54 votes. Which is why I decided to give it a look. On your site, however, it's rated 3.68 from 89 votes. I think I'm still going to give it a try, but I'm sure you see why there's some confusion.

      Oh man, I almost shed a tear when I listened to Darius. I had a dear friend that told me all about him years before he broke out as a solo singer. She would go to clubs and bars that he sang in regularly. I lost her to cervical cancer 2 years ago. So seeing and listening to Darius made the tears pop up.
      Anyway, this recipe looks delish and I'm going to give it a try. If it's as good as it looks I'll be making it for Thanksgiving!

        Firstly my sympathy on the loss of your friend. Cancer is such an awful awful disease!!! And it affects so many people's lives. I lost my Mum to secondary breast cancer over 25 years ago. I hope one day that we find a cure!
        I am sorry to bring tears to your eyes, but happy that you have a lovely memory of your friend. Darius has such a fabulous voice, I bet she had the best time listening to him.

        I do hope you love the recipe, I think it would be perfect for any party. It is certainly a crowd pleaser whenever I serve it!

      This looks delish and isn't even all that bad, especially for those of us on keto diets. 417 Kcals and only 7g of carbs split 4 ways (use celery to dip it up) and if you stick wit 10 servings, it's 167/3g. The macros aren't right, (too much protein) but still ...

      I think I could probably live on dips. And this one looks amazing. I can't wait to try it.

      So I have never been to Mardi Gras but it's definitely on the bucket list. However, I do love me some southern comfort creole food (product of growing up in the south... haha) and this dish sounds absolutely delish! Definitely making this for our next party!

        It isn't something we had really even heard of growing up in the UK, it wasn't until I moved to Australia and more people seemed to talk about it!
        I think it must be an amazing experience.
        Hope you love the dip ๐Ÿ˜€ x

      Hi Claire. Just set this down in front of me with a nice glass of wine and I'd be very happy. I've been scoring jumbo shrimp at really good prices lately. You did not say to cut the shrimp into pieces, but I think I would at least cut mine in half.

        That is a good point Dorothy, I will change the recipe. I bought what we call prawn meat, and they are usually chopped up already.

        I think a glass of wine and a basket of bread and you and I could chat the night away!!! x

      Oh my Claire, this dip sounds just amazing! Although I would have to sell a spare kidney to afford 500g of prawns here in England lol. I think I'll just have to make a teeny tiny portion instead as a special treat for us come payday. Off to search out your creole spice mix - I love making my own too like you know but I don't have a creole mix in my spice drawer - yet!

        Hehe, yes I remember the price of seafood over there. We are quite lucky with our prawns here.
        This makes a lot of dip!!! I serve it as a party snack and think it would easily serve 10 people if you have a couple of other dips.
        I think you could happily do a quarter of it, it is very rich so you don't need a lot ๐Ÿ™‚
