Recipe: Pizza Dip

Here's a great recipe for when you're having the gang over to watch a game, a season finale program, at pool parties, or anytime you have a gathering of family and/or friends. It's an excellent way to treat them with something special.

You will need:

1/2 cup of softened cream cheese
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream

1 small to medium jar of picante sauce

1 1/2 cups grated marble cheese
1 cup diced tomatoes
1 cup diced green peppers
1 tin of medium sized shrimp

Blend together the cream cheese, mayonnaise and sour cream in a bowl and then spread evenly onto a regular sized pie plate.

Next, pour on a generous layer of picante sauce (hot, medium or mild, depending upon your own taste)
Garnish with grated marble cheese, diced tomatoes and diced green peppers.
Finally, top with one tin of medium shrimp (well drained)

* tip: I find that the canned shrimp works best, as the remaining juices left in the shrimp add extra flavor throughout the dip.

This dip goes great with either potato chips, Ritz or gourmet crackers or even nacho chips.

You may need to double your recipe, depending on how large your crowd is. I absolutely guarantee that this dip will be a hit with your guests that they'll be coming back for more.
