Shrimp Chip Dip

mouthwatering

     Yay for new years! I love New Years Eve, it brings a refreshing feeling,hope that you can make your life better. I normally don't share my goals for the upcoming months, but I'm going to need moral support on 2015's. I'm quitting sugar, I legitimately have a sugar addiction. 

But who cares about all the unrealistic resolutions?  The expectations we have  are hardly ever met, wishes a rarely granted,  and the dang muffin top never leaves.  All this talk about failing goals and quitting sugar is making me sad, Enough sad talk!   

  What really matters is food!

      The real reason why i love new years is the food! At any party, you're gonna find me at the food table. I don't have time to worry about my flaws when I'm hungry. Food is there for you. 

             One of our family favorites on new years, and the yearly super bowl,   is 

 shrimp chip dip.

looks odd, tastes great!

 My grandpa Nicki Black came up with this savory creation years ago, and it's stuck around and we've gobbled tons of this stuff. It's so good, i am actually doing a service by sharing the recipe.

                                                                                                                                                    

Gather your needed ingredients,  a fork, and  a large mixing bowl.( milk is not pictured)
The miracle whip provides a nice, sweet, tangy taste. You  can improvise with Mayo is you like.

                                                                                                                                          

 

(I know it kinda looks gross). With the fork, smash the cream cheese, miracle whip, and milk together.

The cream cheese needs to be softened at room temp.

 If you are looking for a good arm workout, this gets your bicep nice and sore.

Don't use an electrical beater! The fork won't take all the clumps out and make it smooth like a beater will, but that's the point! You want everything to me mixed, but still have a chunky texture. Even if it looks kind of...disturbing..

 Now, add you shrimp and onion salt.

  Mix it one last time and let the delicious dip chill in the fridge for a couple of hours.

  Chilling makes it nice and cold, and lets the flavors really combine well. 

             WARNING: the shrimp kind of smells like bad breath when you drain the juice, be brave!

                                                      The finished product! OH YAY!

 INDULGE

 The crunch of the salty chip with the creamy,  almost sweet  dip, makes perfection.

                         This will be you appetizer for every meal and your choice of snack until it's gone! 

ENJOY!
