How to make garlic butter shrimp dip
Turn oven broiler on HIGH. Place french bread rounds on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Microwave the butter and garlic in a small bowl for 30-60 seconds and allow to sit for a couple of minutes. Brush the top of each french bread round.
Broil for 2-3 minutes or until golden brown on top. Remove from oven and set aside.
(Save remainder of garlic butter to use in dip)
Turn on oven to 375°F. Spray a 1 quart baking dish with cooking spray.
In a medium size bowl, combine the remaining garlic butter, cream cheese, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, 1 cup of Swiss cheese, sun-dried tomatoes and basil.
Salt and pepper the shrimp and cook over medium high heat in a skillet coated in olive oil, 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from pan and cut into large chunks. Stir shrimp into the dip mixture.
Pour the mixture into a 1 quart baking dish and sprinkle the remaining Swiss cheese on top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and bubbly on top.

This is really good! I
Will make again, but will add less butter, there was too much “floating” on top

Can you substitute another cheese for the Swiss?
Amy Duska says
Yes, you can use gruyere or jarlsberg.
Barb says
