This Shrimp Scampi Dip is a great way to have a seafood appetizer without breaking the bank. You can use whatever size shrimp is the best value when you go to buy it. I used some 16/20’s and do have to admit taking a knife to them made me feel a little bad. That only lasted until I took my first bite of this delicious dip.

Tips for Buying Shrimp

Shrimp should be firm and have a mild smell. It should also look slightly translucent.

If buying frozen look for ones that are headless and still have the shell on.

Unless you are near the coast buy frozen. At the grocery store I ask them for frozen or whatever size I want and don’t buy what is in the case. I’d rather control how they are thawed and handled.

Avoid imported shrimp if you can.
