Method

  • 1. If using canned shripms or prawns make sure you drain off the excess brinein the can.If using fresh seafood make sure you remove all the shell.

  • 2. Place all cream cheese in food processor or blender.

  • 3. Add the chili, horsradish, lemon juice, dill and garlic to the blender with the to cream cheese.

  • 4. Blend until smooth.

  • 5. Now add the seafood and blend again until smooth paster is achieved.

  • 6. Now here you may add a little milk or mayonnaise, just enough to make it light and creamy i.e. dip texture.

  • 7. Chill for at least two hours or overnight and serve.

  • 8. Serve served with crackers, crisps, raw vegetables e.g. carrots or cucumber, bread or toast. I prefer plain lightly salted crisps myself

    • Tips

    • Add a dash of milk to thin out the mixture if necessary or for a creamier richer flavour add a couple of tablespoons of mayonnaise.

      Replace the shrimp with an equal amount of crab or prawns for an easy alternative.
