The recipe doesn’t call for it, but shouldn’t the shrimp be at least chopped a little? I’m making this dip for an after game get together tonight, and want your advice before cooking it.

Followed recipe exactly and found it to be extremely schloopy. It was very easy to make and taste was very good. Not sure what I can do different. It also made a really large amount, so make sure you have lots of guests or try cutting it in half as it doesn’t reheat well.

I made this for a girls’ night out and it was just okay. I will not make this again – prefer my shrimp separate from the co*cktail sauce and cheese.

I only used one stick of cream cheese and after 30 minutes of cooking the center was only luke warm. I bumped up the heat to 385 and added another 15 minutes. Next time I will start at 385. This was just my experience… my oven is pretty accurate. The shrimp was cold when I added it to the recipe (not frozen). Maybe that was part of the problem.

This may be a silly question, but is the shrimp raw or cooked prior to putting it in the oven?
