Okay, so Iām going to come clean right off the bat and say that I do not give a rip for the Super Bowl. I mean, you are talking to the girl who once asked (in all sincerity) what day of the week the Super Bowl lands on.
But I have been loving all of the dip and party food recipes flooding blogs everywhere that are inspired by the upcoming Super Bowl, so I in turn have felt inspired to add MY favorite party food to the fray!
My husband and I discovered this recipe a few years ago in a Washington State cookbook, where it is listed as a favorite recipe from the Spokane Yacht Club. The dip was originally called āSurprise Spreadā and we found it ridiculously addicting and beyond simple to put together. This is officially my new favorite way to eat a shrimp cocktail!
The spread should be enough for a party, but itās so tasty, two adults can easily polish off half the plate if they are hungry enough. (Go on, ask me how I know! Hehe..)
So anyway, if youāre looking for a dip / spread that is not the traditional bean or cheese dip, give this Shrimp Cocktail Spread a try!
Shrimp Cocktail Layered Party Spread
You Will Need:
1 8 oz. package of cream cheese, softened
Ā½ cup of sour cream
Ā¼ cup mayonnaise
1 cup of seafood cocktail sauce
3 cans of tiny shrimp, rinsed and drained
1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
3 green onions, finely chopped
1 tomato, finely diced
2 cups of shredded mozzarella cheese
How to Make:
1. Mix the cream cheese, sour cream and mayonnaise until smooth and well mixed. Spread over a 12-inch cake plate or pizza pan.
2. Cover this layer with cocktail sauce, spread evenly.
3. Scatter the shrimp evenly over the cocktail sauce.
4. Add the chopped green bell pepper, green onions and diced tomato, spreading evenly.
5. Cover with the shredded mozarrella and voila! Serve with crackers or chips!
This looks so yummy! Hope you have a great weekend

Ooh yum! That sounds addictive.
It is! It’s also on the pricier side to make.. so we only pull it out for rare occasions!
This looks tasty and I would love to try it with some baguette or likewise.
Pinned it!
Thanks!! It’s quite tasty!! ^_^
Yum, yum!! I love this combo. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for commenting! <3
Oh, it’s a cold one, for some reason I thought of a warm dip. Maybe I was longing for warm because it is so cold here lately. In any case, it sounds very delicious.
Favorite party food? Hmmm, there are so many. One that keeps re-appearing, not a typical party-food is chili with cornbread.
Chili and cornbread is a classic! I haven’t had it in ages.. now I want soooome! lol
This looks good – it might be the motivation I need to get up early for my workouts!!! (can’t skip workouts after this:)
lol, right?! It’s def a “make once in a great while” dish!
Yum, this looks so good!! Great recipe for the superbowl š

My husband and I usually end up eating most of it! haha! Sooooo good!
don’t think i’ve ever had this but it looks like i’m missing out!!! looks scrumptious!
You should try it if you get a chance.. suuuuuper yummy! š
I am not a “huge” fan of super bowl, but I do love super bowl food. I especially love the dips. Yum!
LOL, yeah, the food is the highlight for me.. and some of the funny commercials. š
Ok, so I’m a little late to the Super Bowl party, but hey, I can eat dip anytime. My husband loves shrimp, although I struggle with how to prepare it! Anything with cheese on top pretty much wins my heart. So there’s no reason this can’t be my Valentine’s Day dip.
Shrimp is a favorite around our home! And ANYTHING shrimp cocktail is a win around here! hehe! Hope you like it! ^_^
Oh I just looove that recipe, I’m a huge fan of everything sour cream/ricotta and shrimps. Including ingredients in my grocery list already!

Don’t care about the Superbowl too (and Grammys as of this comment hahahaha) but DO WANT TO TRY THAT DIP!! Sold just by seeing there’s that much cheese in it. I would love to try that very soon, and it looks doable bec all those ingredients I’ve seen them here hahaha.
The chips though, is it Tostitos?
Yeah! I actually love Tostitos.. though my new favorite is a brand called “Across the Border”.. do you have that there??
No I don’t think we have that particular brand here š so, Tostitos for now. Eep, craving!
Lol!! Yeah, food blog posts are no good for me! Makes me want to eat all the time!
Thank you again for your comment on my blog!
