Party Shrimp Dip

Category: Dips - Seafood Cold

2 cans of small shrimp, drain one can only but dont rinse
1 jar of mayonnaise
1 regular pkg cream cheese
1 envelope Knox gelatin
1 small bunch of chopped green onions
Black pepper
1 can cream of mushroom soup
Variety of crackers such as wheat thins or triscuits

In a sauce pan, blend soup and cream cheese to warm (no need to allow boiling). Take off heat and add mayonnaise, shrimp, and onions and blend well.

Dilute the gelatin with 1 tbsp. of cold water and then stir into the dip. Add black pepper to taste.

Pour the dip into the final serving container and allow to sit several hours if not overnight.

Always use a heavy cracker for dipping so they are strong enough to handle the thickness, yet creaminess of this dip.

To garnish, leave a few of the shrimp and chopped green onions sitting on top of the dip so that people will be able to distinguish that the dip is shrimp and green onions. It also looks nice.
