Layered Shrimp Recipes

Steps:

• Place cream cheese in a mixing bowl; cream with a fork. Add sour cream and mayonnaise. Whisk with a fork until mixture is well combined and smooth.
• Spread cream cheese mixture in the bottom of an 8-inch pie plate to create the first layer. Top evenly with cocktail sauce, imitation crab, shrimp, green onion, diced tomato, and mozzarella cheese to create remaining layers. Garnish with small whole shrimp, sliced green onion, and fresh parsley, if desired.
• Cover and chill for a minimum of 2 hours, or overnight, to allow flavors to meld.
• Serve with potato chips, tortilla chips, or crackers.

Steps:

• In large stockpot, heat 6 quarts water to boiling. Add boil seasoning mix and salt; return to boiling. Add potatoes; cook 20 to 30 minutes (depending on size of potatoes) or until fully cooked and skewer inserted in center of largest potato comes out clean. Use slotted spoon to remove potatoes to bowl. Add shrimp to water; return to boiling and cook about 3 minutes or until bright pink and cooked throughout. Drain shrimp; cool.
• Meanwhile, spray 10-inch skillet with cooking spray. Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Cook sausage in skillet 2 to 4 minutes on each side or until browned. Transfer sausage to plate to cool, then spray pan again and add corn to pan. Cook 5 to 7 minutes or until browned. Remove from heat.
• In large bowl, mix coleslaw mix with dressing, tossing to coat. Refrigerate all ingredients until cool, about 1 hour.
• In 3 1/2-quart trifle bowl or glass bowl, layer the salad. Place potatoes on bottom, then gently place cabbage over potatoes, keeping sides of bowl clean. Add sausage, corn, shrimp and scallions. Serve with cocktail sauce.

Steps:

• On 10- to 12-inch serving plate, spread cream cheese to within 1 inch of edge of plate. In small bowl, mix preserves and cocktail sauce. Spread over cream cheese.
• Top evenly with shrimp. Sprinkle with onions and coconut. Serve with crackers.

Steps:

• 1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, cayenne pepper and garlic. Mix with an electric mixer until all is thoroughly blended together.
• 2. Spread the mixture on bottom of a glass 8X8X2 (or slightly larger) serving dish.
• 3. Pour and spread bottle of Shrimp Cocktail Sauce atop the cheese and spice, herb mix. Next, drain any excess water from your clean, cooked, thawed shrimp and place on top of the cocktail sauce.
• 4. Now add all fresh vegetables atop your shrimp and top off with the finely shredded mozzarella cheese mixed with pimento and sliced ripe olives. (I do not usually use the pimento and ripe olives unless it for a fancy party.) GARNISH with the reserved shrimp sprinkled atop the Mozzarella dish. (Please do not forget this step because some people are allergic to shellfish.) Chill and serve with Ritz Crackers or crackers of your choice.
• 5. *OPTIONAL* If you do not have Shrimp Cocktail Sauce, but you have chili sauce, substitute it and serve with tortilla chips, corn chips etc...

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine cream cheese and 3 tablespoons salsa; spread into an ungreased 9-in. pie plate.

Serve with tortilla chips.

Steps:

• Cover and chill in the refrigerator at least 2 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Put the shrimp in a small bowl and add 1/2 of the jalapeno, 2 teaspoons lemon oil, and salt and pepper, to taste, and toss to combine. In a second bowl, mix the tomatoes with 2 teaspoons oil and salt and pepper, to taste. Put the diced avocado in a third bowl, add the remaining 2 teaspoons lemon oil, remaining 1/2 of the jalapeno, salt and pepper, to taste, and toss well.
• To assemble, divide 3/4 of the shrimp among 4 short 6-ounce wide-rimmed glasses. Top the shrimp in each glass with 1/4 of the tomatoes, followed by 1/4 of the avocado. Finely chop the remaining shrimp to garnish each glass and sprinkle the chives evenly over each salad. Alternately, you can layer this salad in a large glass trifle bowl, to share. Serve immediately or chill and serve within 1 hour.
