I came across a recipe for crawfish dip, and it sounded delicious, but we don't have a lot of crawfish available in my area. I'm a big fan of shrimp, so I used that instead. The dish has become a family favorite. —Jill Burwell, Renton, Washington
Hot Shrimp Dip Tips
How do I make this hot dip spicy?
Increase the heat by adding your favorite hot sauce and a little bit of acidity with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.What else can I use Creole seasoning on?
Creole seasoning is a blend of pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and dried herbs. It is wonderful on meats, seafood and fish dishes. We love it in this recipe for Gulf Coast Jambalaya Rice or for adding a boost of flavor to Spicy Roasted Sausage, Potatoes and Peppers.Ingredients
