Ingredients

1 teaspoon salt
1 pound small or medium shrimp
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 green onion, finely chopped, white and green parts
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
Dash hot sauce
Dash black pepper

Directions

Bring 2 cups of water and 1 teaspoon salt to a boil in a medium saucepan and add the shrimp. When the water returns to the boil, turn off the heat, cover the pot, and allow the shrimp to sit for 5 minutes. Drain, peel and devein.

Place the shrimp in a food processor and pulse about 8 to 10times, until they are finely chopped but not mushy. Mix together the cream cheese, mayonnaise, green onion, mustard, hot sauce, and pepper in a bowl until well combined; stir in the shrimp.

Line a 2-cup mold or glass bowl with plastic wrap, leaving lots of overhang. Place the shrimp mixture into the mold, packing tightly with a spatula. Cover with plastic wrap overhang and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight.

When ready to serve, unwrap the overhang and invert the mold onto a plate. Remove the plastic wrap. Allow to come to room temperature before serving with water crackers or another favorite snack cracker.

It's a Matter of Taste
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I found this recipe to be very bland. However, the funny thing was that several people at worked raved about how good it... was, and asked for the recipe. If I make it again, I will find a way to add more flavor. Also, will get shrimp that already have the vein removed. That was a pain! Over all, it was ok.Read more

Easy & Tasty!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This shrimp mold is the easiest and the tastiest I've made in a long time. It's easy to throw together (a day ahead) then... refrigerate and forget until the party. Any type of mold will work well. I'll be making this again.Read more

Delicious
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

The shrimp mold was easy to put together. Instead of plain salt, however, I used Old Bay seasoning and I added one rib of... celery, all chopped up finely. Delicious!!Read more

Yummy
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Absolutely the best ever. I made this using frozen cooked shrimp and it was out of this world. I also added "Old Bay"... Seafood Seasoning since I am originally from Maryland. I am definitely making this for my Son-in-Law next week.Read more

No talking with food in your mouth!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Paula, this recipe is great. I watched you make this. But, for Heaven's sake, when you took a bite with the dip with a... cracker, you spoke words with food in your mouth. Paula,folks from the South,(or anywhere for that matter)that use good manners never, no never, talk with food in their mouths. Please, please, please, stop. It's embarrassing and nauseating!Read more
