Kori's Tips

Tip: Make sure to use a favorite cocktail sauce that you've tested and love! This dip is as good as your cocktail sauce.
If desired, you can garnish with dill, parsley, sliced green onions, and some salt & pepper.
Serve with raw veggies and crackers. A small cocktail or butter knife make it easier to spread on crackers.
Feel free to double the shrimp! You can use canned, fresh, or thawed frozen cooked shrimp. Larger shrimp should be diced. Crabmeat can also be substituted.
