- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly grease a 9-inch pie plate or small casserole dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Step 2: Make the Creamy Base
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Stir in shredded cheese, mayonnaise, minced garlic, diced onion, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 3: Fold in the Seafood
- Gently fold in shrimp and crab meat.
- If the shrimp are large, chop into bite-sized pieces for even distribution.
Step 4: Bake
- Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared dish.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the edges bubble and the top is golden brown.
Step 5: Cool & Serve
- Let the dip rest for about 5 minutes so it firms up slightly.
- Serve warm with toasted baguette slices, crackers, or celery sticks.
This cheesy, seafood-packed dip is sure to impress—perfect for any gathering or a cozy night in.
