Description
Seafood Party Dip is an easy and elegant vintage recipe that is always a hit at parties! Cream cheese, cocktail sauce and seafood are all you need for this classic three ingredient appetizer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz package of cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 – 1 cup of cocktail sauce, depending on the size of your serving platter
- 3 cups of seafood of your choice, shrimp and/or crab are good choices
Instructions
- Spread the cream cheese on to your serving platter, an 1/8 – 1/4 inch thick. I used a round platter about 12 inches in diameter. If the cream cheese is really soft, you can put the platter in the fridge to firm up a bit before spreading the cocktail sauce on top. You want distinctive layers.
- Next spread the cocktail sauce over the cream cheese, enough so you can’t see the white of the cream cheese underneath, but leave the outside edge of the cream cheese showing (to look pretty).
- Finally you’ll pile on the seafood! I happened to have both shrimp and crab, so I piled the crab in the middle, then surrounded it with the shrimp.
- Serve with crackers – dig in!
Notes
You can make the seafood dip a few hours a head of time and store in the fridge.
