Cajun Shrimp Dip

This Cajun Shrimp Dip is a zesty appetizer that’s always a crowd pleaser! It’s a tasty combination of shrimp and veggies in a creamy, cheesy base. Total YUM!

But today, I’m serving up this Cajun Shrimp Dip, and it checks all the boxes. It’s got zesty Cajun flavor, it’s loaded with juicy shrimp and veggies, the base of the recipe is a smooth, creamy, cheesy sauce that’s to die for, it’s incredibly easy to make and friends and family LOVE it! Check, check, check, check, check!!

I like to serve our dip with a fresh baguette that I slice thin on the diagonal, but it’s also delicious with crackers, pita chips or fresh veggies.

This dip will be on repeat all summer long here at the beach! And it’s perfect for the holiday weekend ahead! Hope you guys give the recipe a try too. Guaranteed to be a family and friend fave! Enjoy!

A Few Cook’s Notes for Cajun Shrimp Dip

As mentioned above, I use Tony Chachere’s Original Creole Seasoning for this recipe. This is not a paid post. Tony’s seasoning just happens to be my Creole seasoning of choice. Try it and I bet you’ll love it too!

I use medium shrimp which I cut into bit size chunks so the dip is easier to eat on baguette slices or crackers.

If you can’t find shredded mozzarella and provolone in the same bag, you can always use some shredded Italian cheese blend. Both are by Sargento.

I use one tablespoon of the Tony’s seasoning which I think gives it great flavor. You can use more or less to your liking.
