This is one of those appetizers that seems to appear and be devoured at almost every party I attend. It's a real crowd pleaser. I also make a lower calories version where I substitute the cream cheese for cottage cheese. Read more . It's still delicious!
Ingredients:
1 (250 gram) package cream cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
fresh or frozen shrimp (thawed)
1 cup seafood sauce
1 green pepper , finely chopped
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
3 green onions, finely chopped
1-2 tomatoes, diced
Directions:
1. Mix first 3 ingredients. Spread on a pizza pan or other round dish. Scatter shrimp over cheese mixture. Add layers of seafood sauce, mozzarella, green pepper, onions, and tomatoes. Cover and chill. Serve with crackers or tortilla chips.
2. A lighter variation: Substitute the cream cheese for 1 1/4 cups cottage cheese and use light sour cream and mayonnaise. Combine these three ingredients in a food processor until smooth.( I also like to add a bit of lemon juice. ) Spread on plate; add remaining layers. Tell your guests only after they've licked the plate. They're always surprised that it's a lighter version.
