<center><h1> Shrimp Dip </h1></center>

<div class="text-justify">
This is sort of a combination post about my favorite holiday foods and a recipe that was passed down for 4 or 5 generations. I am not quite sure how old it is, but I know it's gone from our generation up through my mom and through her mom; my guess is around 80 or 90 years.
</div>
<br>

<div class="text-justify">
So this is my favorite killer setup for all the major holidays, I get it 3 times a year. My wife makes the deviled eggs, the pumpkin pie, real whipped cream, and the shrimp dip. Also gets me egg nog this time of year also, for Thanksgiving and for Christmas.
</div>
<br>

<div class="text-justify">
I thought that since the first of the new year is coming up, this simple pleasing recipe would make a lot of people <em>very</em> happy for the first new day of a brand new year.

This recipe is the base for the creativity and love that you put into it, it's mostly by trial and error to get that perfect taste that you are looking for. This is an excellent base for that.
</div>
<br>

So, I'm done watching the drool, on with the recipe!!!

3/4 pound of small shrimp
8 oz cream cheese - very soft
6 tablespoons mayo
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon of chopped onion
1 teaspoon Beau Monde seasoning
small amount of fresh chopped parsley
 
Make sure shrimp is dry
Mix all thoroughly together 
Let sit overnight in the fridge
<br>

<center><h1> The Great Finale </h1></center>

Serve with Ritz crackers (my preference) or any cracker you want to serve  with it. Whip up some deviled eggs, make that apple or pumpkin pie with the whipped cream, and serve it with this decadent shrimp dip. lol
