I left out the horseradish as we don't care for it much, but it was still delicious. We had it with other appetizers before dinner on Thanksgiving. DGS ate like a little piggy and says I can make it for him any time I want to When the kids like something, you know it's good!

    I made this for a party and it was a big hit. It is much better the next day so definitely make it one day in advance. My cream cheese was lumpy and looked like cottage cheese in the dip which a few people commented on and it was a real turn-off, so next time I'll beat the cream cheese first with an electric mixer until it's creamy before I add the other ingredients. The recipe didn't specifically state to drain the cans of shrimp, but they must be drained. The dip was a bit salty the first day but seemed less salty the next day. This is a keeper!

    I made this as an appy for Thanksgiving. As there are just the two of us, next time I will half the recipe. This was one of the best dips we've ever had. I beat the cream cheese as someone else suggested and that worked very well. I couldn't quit nibbling when I mixed it up, but I have to admit it was even better the next day. I didn't use canned shrimp, I had some precooked shrimp on hand that I used, and I just chopped those up really fine, and I added a red onion which really set off the flavors. I served it with some Cracked Pepper Crackers, and we couldn't stay out of the stuff, I finally just put it back in the fridge or we wouldn't have eaten our actual meal I had prepared. I am low-carbing and I plan to use the rest and stuff celery sticks for a snack. Thanks for a great recipe PanNan, I will definately be making this one again.
