Shrimp Chip Dip #SundayFunday

Surprise your family and friends with the addition of this Shrimp Chip Dip on your appetizer buffet this New Years Eve.

The Sunday Funday crew are ringing in the New Year.........

Sneha of Sneha's Recipe has invited us all to share a special dish to ring in 2021.  I think we can all agree that we are happy to see 2020 come to an end and have lots of reasons to celebrate the arrival of New Year. 

• Cheaters Collards and Ham from Sid's Sea Palm Cooking
• Ham and Black-Eyed Pea Soup from Karen's Kitchen Stories
• Lemon Poached Chicken and Leeks from Food Lust People Love
• Malbari Style Beef Biryani With Cucumber Boondi Raita from Sneha's Recipe
• Shrimp Chip Dip from A Day in the Life on the Farm
• Spicy Black-Eyed Pea Soup (Instant Pot) from Palatable Pastime

I see a lot of traditional "good luck" foods in there.  I don't know about you but we feast nearly every day from Thanksgiving until January 6th when we celebrate Epiphany.  I get to the point where I can't even think about what I want to eat, let alone what I want to serve.  

So often, on New Years Eve, we just enjoy leftovers or small plates/appetizers often made with leftovers.  Perhaps Ham Salad stuffed inside Pate a Choux, or Nachos made with Leftover Turkey.  Then I add some other easy dishes to round it out.  Perhaps a Veggie Pizza Appetizer, Shrimp Cocktail or an Onion Dip for chips.

For today's celebration I decided to combine my shrimp cocktail with the ingredients needed to make chip dip.  This recipe was inspired by one found in Cuisine at Home and it is a fun, surprising and unusual dish to serve up to family and friends.

I had to admonish The Teen to leave some for other guests.  The following night she asked if I would make more.  I was able to accommodate her but was out of chips so she ate it with crackers and was happy as could be.

This is a great and easy recipe that I can see making time and time again as I often have all the ingredients on hand.
