Score Big with this Creamy Shrimp Dip on Game-Day
Imagine taking a bite of this dip and being met with a burst of creamy goodness, perfectly complemented by tender pieces of shrimp. We’ve used the combination of lightened-up (less fat) Neufchatel cream cheese with chili sauce and lemon juice to create a rich, luxurious, velvety base. The shrimp adds a delightful texture and a subtle salty flavor that elevates the dip to new heights.
But it’s not just about the shrimp – the dip is also enhanced by adding flavorful ingredients that bring depth and complexity. A dash of Worcestershire sauce adds a savory tang, while cayenne pepper and smokey paprika provide aromatic notes that are hard to resist. Finally, a sprinkle of green onions adds a hint of freshness, balancing the richness of the dip and bringing all the flavors together.
The best part about this dip? It’s incredibly easy to make. With just a few simple steps and minimal prep time, you can have a crowd-pleasing snack ready for game time. Chop or use your mini food processor to pulse the cooked shrimp into bite-sized pieces, combine all the ingredients, and let the flavors meld in the refrigerator. When it’s time to serve, you’ll have a creamy, shrimp-filled dip that is sure to impress the fans.
Whether hosting a game-day gathering or looking for a delicious snack while watching the big game, this Creamy Shrimp Dip is a guaranteed winner.

Ingredients & Substitutions…
Creamy Base: The creamy base for this dip is made with Neufchatel cream cheese (room temperature), chili sauce, and lemon juice (about one medium lemon, juiced). Mix until smooth and creamy before adding the…
Worcestershire Sauce & Seasonings: The Worcestershire sauce adds a savory tang, while cayenne pepper and smokey paprika provide aromatic notes that are hard to resist.
Green Onions: To add flavor and vibrant color, green onions are stirred in and used as a garnish.
Shrimp: Look for frozen cooked shrimp that is peeled and de-veined, with tails removed. Thaw the shrimp and then chop them, or use your food processor to pulse the cooked shrimp into bite-sized pieces.
Additions & Substitutions: Red bell pepper is an excellent addition to add a bit of sweetness, crunch, and color to this dip. We’ve also added fresh minced jalapeno pepper to add spiciness or minced celery for extra crunch.
What to Serve with Shrimp Dip
Here are our favorite options for serving with shrimp dip.
- Fresh vegetables: You won’t go wrong with fresh veggies like carrot sticks, celery spears, cucumber rounds, radishes, cherry tomatoes, and bell pepper strips. Add the dip to complete a touchdown-worth vegetable tray!
- Crackers: There are many types of gluten-free crackers. These crisps with a hint of sea salt are some of our favorites.
- Pretzels: Whether you choose pretzel twists, sticks, or rods, gluten-free pretzels are easy to find online and at local grocery stores.
- Bagel Chips: Gluten-free bagel chips are a little more challenging to find. We like making bagel chips ourselves by toasting these bagel thins ahead of time. They’re delicious, and they work great for dipping!
- Tortilla Chips: Gluten-free tortilla chips are super easy to find in most local grocery stores. You can never go wrong with crispy, crunchy tortilla chips.
- Pickles: Using pickles might be a little different way of dipping, but the salty, pickle briny taste is a perfect compliment to this dip. Try it to see for yourself!
How to Store Shrimp Dip
We recommend piling shrimp dip into an airtight container with a tight-fitting lid to store it. Next, add a layer of plastic wrap smoothed over the top of the shrimp dip. Doing this will seal out any air trapped in the container. Cover with a tight-fitting lid, then store it in the refrigerator. It will easily last 2-3 days.
To serve, scoop the dip into a serving bowl and garnish with additional green onions and a couple of whole-cooked shrimp if desired. Serve immediately with gluten-free crackers, corn chips, or fresh veggies.
