Description

Ingredients

• 9 oz frozen chopped spinach, thawed
• 9 oz frozen creamed spinach, thawed
• 8-10 oz shrimp, thawed if frozen
• 1 TBSP oil or butter
• 1/2 cup onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 8 oz Havarti cheese, freshly grated
• 4 oz cream cheese
• 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes, optional
• Take the cheese-factor to the next level by sprinkling some freshly grated cheese on top of the dip before baking.You can use extra Havarti, Mozzarella, Gouda, Gruyere, or pretty much any easy-melt cheese that floats your boat!
• Serve with sliced veggies, tortilla chips, and/or pita wedges for dipping!

Directions

• Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Thaw spinach as desired. I heated mine using the microwave but you can also leave in the fridge overnight to defrost. Easy peasy!
• Squeeze frozen chopped spinach to remove excess moisture then combine with creamed spinach.
• Bring an 8-12 inch cast iron skillet to medium-high heat, then sauté onion in 1 TBSP butter or oil, adding minced garlic towards the end to prevent burning.
• Add the shrimp and sauté for a few additional minutes until the shrimp turn opaque.
• Season with salt and reduce heat to lowest setting.
• Add your spinach and cheeses (including cream cheese) and mix well.
• Re-season to taste if desired.
• Top with extra cheese if desired (a little extra cheese is always welcome around here!) then add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
• Bake for 15-20 minutes until dip is hot and bubbly.
• Serve with an assortment of veggies, tortilla chips, and/or pita wedges for dipping.
