Recipe Tip

You’ll want to shred your own Parmesan cheese for this Creamy Shrimp Parmesan Dip recipe. The flavor is so much better.

The raw shrimp get added just before the dip is placed in the oven. Chop them into bite-sized pieces to make the dip easier to scoop. The dip comes out of the oven with a bubbly, golden coating of cheese on top.
