A delightful shrimp-based spread perfect for gatherings.
Drain the shrimp thoroughly to remove any excess liquid.
Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel to ensure the spread doesn't become watery.
In a mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and butter together until smooth and fluffy.
Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Add the mayonnaise and lemon juice to the mixture and beat until well combined.
Mix until the texture is uniform and creamy.
Fold in the shrimp, green onions, seasoning salt, and horseradish until evenly distributed.
Gently fold to avoid breaking the shrimp into too small pieces.
Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 6 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Overnight chilling enhances the flavor even more.
Serve the shrimp spread with crackers or your choice of accompaniments.
Garnish with a sprinkle of chopped green onions for a fresh look.
