Shrimp Mold Dip

This Shrimp Mold Dip is one of our family favorite recipes that we love and make every single year. It's seriously the highlight of the Christmas feast for me and the rest of the family. But I've been kind of reluctant to share the recipe with you guys for two reasons.  For one, it just kind of looks gross. It does. I'm aware.  And two, this recipe has been either hit or miss for every one that has tried it outside of my side of the family.  You either love it or hate. There's not a lot of in between.

But in the end I decided to share it because I love it so much. And just in case you're one of the awesome ones who might love it too.

This shrimp mold dip gets it's shrimp-y color from a mixture of tomato and cream cheese, which are so delicious and creamy.  Add in some celery and onion to give it crunch and a little zest, and of course the mini salad shrimp, and you've got yourself a pretty, vintage Shrimp Mold Dip.

My one word of caution is to make sure that it has enough time to set before serving! Serve with any and all of your favorite crackers.

    The shrimp mold dip recipe didn't have shrimp on the list of ingredients. Was it missing, or is shrimp not an ingredient?

      Oh NO! Thank you for pointing that out to me! I usually just pour a bag of shrimp into it without even thinking. Use 12-16 ounces of those baby salad shrimp. We use frozen, not canned, because we found the canned had a weird texture and made it a bit too salty. The recipe's all fixed now. Thanks again!

    Our family makes something like this.
    1 Small can rinsed/cleaned baby shrimp
    1 Pckg. Cream cheese softened
    1 can Cream of Shrimp Soup "rare" in some stores -usually on top of shelf somewhere
    1 Tb Lemon juice or little more- your preference.

    Mix well, let chill for later or eat as is. it's yumm both ways!
    Keep refrigerated in sealed container.
    * Our choice of the dipper is the classic Ruffle or Wavy chip. It's good with many options of course.
    Hope you like it!

    I lost this receipe in the moving process, and was very happy to be able to recover it. Even bought a fish mold
    for it. Thank you for sharing this receipe. This is what it looks like, and the taste is amazing.

    This is the same ingredients I use in mine, just mixindifferent order! We mix the cream cheese, Mayo and celery and onions together. In pot, bring soup to boil, add in gelatin and stir till melted in. Pour soup into cream cheese mixture, add shrimp, then pour it into a mold. And I agree, it’s a hit or miss. My family loves it, but a few of our friends gave it a no- go!

      Do you add 1 can of water to the tomato soup like it calls for or just the condensed version?

      I have never tried it. I don't think you would have trouble with it setting up, but the flavor would obviously be different.
