This Shrimp Dip Recipe is a 3 layer appetizer that is my go-to perfect for any occasion! The cream cheese layer paired with the chili sauce and large salad shrimp creates a bite of perfection!
I generally start posts off talking about the holiday or season that I love making a recipe. But I honestly can’t do that, because this recipe I make ALL YEAR LONG! This Shrimp Dip perfect for large holiday meals, BBQ’s or even just for Sunday dinner with my family.
I am a major appetizer lover! If you are too, also consider trying my Asparagus Rolls, Easy Bean Dip, or my Mac N’ Cheese Bites!
HOW TO MAKE SHRIMP DIP
This appetizer is such a winner friend! It’s a bite full of perfection – a cream cheese base, chili sauce, and topped with large salad shrimp!! It creates the perfect flavor profile!
Ingredients Needed:
- 16oz of Cream Cheese (two 8oz blocks), softened
- ½ cup Mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Garlic Powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 12 oz Chili Sauce
- 1.5 lbs Shrimp (Tail Off), 40-50 shrimp
- ½ Box Town House Crackers
How to assemble the Shrimp Dip Platter:
Shrimp Dip with Cream Cheese
Ingredients
For a Large Platter
- 16 oz Cream Cheese Two 8 oz Blocks, Softened
- ½ cup Mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Garlic Powder
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
- 12 oz Chili Sauce I prefer the Homade brand
- 1.5 pounds Shrimp Tail Off (approx 50-60 shrimp)
- ½ Box Town House Crackers
Instructions
- Combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise garlic powder, and Worcestershire Sauce in a medium or large bowl. I like to use hand beaters, but you can also mix it by hand.
- Once the mixture is completely smooth, spread it onto a platter. You can use any shape platter that you have.
- Next, take the Chili Sauce and spread it over the cream cheese layer. Note: I prefer Chili Sauce over Cocktail sauce. But you could use cocktail sauce if that's all you have.
- Lastly, disperse the Tail Off Shrimp over the top! I like to really pile the shrimp on, so feel free to adjust the amount of shrimp to your liking!
- Serve with Town House Crackers, Ritz Crackers or Wheat Thins!

What size platter? How thick should the cream cheese be when you spread it out?
Pam Dana
Hey! The particular platter I was using in this post is a 12″x8″. But, with that said, don’t stress about the platter! I like my cream cheese layer a little thicker. But, my mom always makes hers on a 16″ circle platter and the cream cheese will cover the entire platter. It’s just thinner than pictured in the post. You can really make whatever sized platter you have work! Good luck!
