Slow Cooker Hot Shrimp Dip

I recently picked up a bag of cooked salad shrimp thinking that I would add them to a salad. When I got home from the grocery store I tossed the shrimp in the freezer and kind of sort of forgot about it.

I made my salads all week and forgot to add the shrimp.

Has that kind of thing ever happened to you?

So, when I spied the bag of frozen salad shrimp lingering in my freezer I needed to come up with a recipe for them.

Low and behold I was expecting my friends over that evening and so I decided to use the shrimp to make a yummy warm dip in my slow cooker.

I thawed the shrimp out and because they are little tiny shrimp that are already peeled, de-veined and cooked all I had to do was give them a rough chop and throw them in the slow cooker.

Then I added some cream cheese, finely diced onion, garlic powder and shredded Parmesan cheese and let it cook for about 1 hour just until everything was hot and all the cheeses were melted.

When my friends came over I set out some slices of crusty bread and some crackers and we all dug into the shrimp dip and it was a huge hit!
