shrimp

🥗Healthier: chicken breast

💰Cheaper: canned tuna

Canned tuna is more affordable and still provides protein.

Grate 8 oz each of sharp cheddar and mozzarella cheese and set aside, reserving 3/4 cup of each for the filling and topping.

Thinly slice 3 green onions and mince 2 cloves of garlic, then set aside.

In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add 1 lb of peeled and deveined shrimp with a sprinkle of kosher salt.

Cook the shrimp for 3 minutes, then remove from water and coarsely chop once cooled.

In a large bowl, with an electric hand mixer, combine 1/8 oz block of cream cheese, 6-8 dashes of hot sauce, 1/4 cup sour cream, and 1/3 cup mayonnaise.

Add 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 tbsp seafood seasoning, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and the reserved 3/4 cup of each cheese to the mixture and blend until smooth.

Fold in the chopped green onions, minced garlic, and coarsely chopped shrimp until well blended.

Pour the mixture into an ungreased 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish and spread evenly.

Top with the remaining cheese and spread evenly over the mixture.

Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F for 20 minutes until the cheese is melted.

Let the dip rest for 3 minutes after baking, then serve with Ritz crackers and garnish with additional green onions and whole shrimp.
