Cheesy Colorful Shrimp Spread...


Prep Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

one (8-ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
one teaspoon fresh dill weed, chopped
one (12-ounce) bottle cocktail sauce
1/4 pound small frozen cooked salad shrimp, thawed and patted dry
two cups (8 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup diced green pepper
1/2 cup diced roasted sweet red peppers
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

Preparation:

Beat cream cheese until smooth. Stir in dill weed. Spread on a 12-inch round serving platter to within two inches of edge.

Merge coctail sauce and shrimp. Carefully spread in an even layer over the cream cheese, taking care not to dislodge the bottom layer.

Spread may be made a day in advance and refrigerated. Let come to room temperature before serving.

Yield: about 12 servings
