Ingredients

1 pound unpeeled fresh shrimp (medium size)

6 ounces cream cheese, softened (do not use low fat or non fat; recipe doesn’t turn out well unless you use regular cream cheese)

1/3 c ketchup

1 tsp grated yellow or white onion

1 tsp prepared horseradish

1/2 - 1.5 tsp ground red pepper (add red pepper depending on how hot you would like the recipe to be)

1/2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Preparation

Cook shrimp until they turn pink. Drain well and peel and devein. Coarsely chop and set aside.

Combine cream cheese and remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl. Mix until blended well. Spoon in shrimp and stir until mixed in. Transfer mixture to small bowl and chill for at least 2 hours.

Serve with assorted crackers (recommend hearty crackers that can handle the weight of the spread)
