Garlic Butter Tuscan Shrimp Dip

“Garlic Butter Tuscan Shrimp Dip is bursting with amazing flavors!”

I’m so excited! My friends and I decided to start a monthly dinner and book club! I love getting together with my friends and this is the perfect way to catch up on a regular basis. All of us are pretty busy with work, kids … you know … life! I’m looking forward to some quality time with my girls.

The first book we are reading is Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware.  From what I’ve heard this is a pretty popular book. Have you read it?? What did you think??

I haven’t started it yet so … no spoilers please!

I’ll be bringing this AMAZING hot dip to the first party.

I absolutely love a good hot cheese dip … and this Garlic Butter Tuscan Shrimp Dip certainly does NOT disappoint!

It’s elegant and delicious … and so easy to make. Also … it goes great with red wine!

Serve with toasted french bread slices or crackers … I promise you … this is a guaranteed party pleaser!

The girls are gonna love this one!

If you love the flavors of basil and sun-dried tomatoes … mixed with cheeses and shrimp … then this is the appetizer you need to make for your next party!
