Notes
-Plan ahead when making this dip. The best way to thaw the frozen shrimp is to leave it in the fridge overnight. If you forget and try to run it under cold water to thaw, the shrimp can take on a water-logged texture.-If you like your dip more saucy, add another 1/2 to 1 cup of ketchup.-This can be made up to about 6 hours ahead of serving.
