A delightful layered appetizer featuring shrimp, fresh vegetables, and a creamy base, perfect for gatherings.
In a mixing bowl, combine the light cream cheese, light mayonnaise, Worcestershire sauce, fresh lemon juice, and prepared horseradish until smooth.
Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Spread the creamy mixture evenly in the bottom of a shallow serving dish.
Use a spatula to create a smooth and even layer.
Spread the chili sauce evenly over the creamy base.
Chill the chili sauce beforehand for a refreshing layer.
Pat the cucumber slices dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, then sprinkle them along with the chopped green onions over the chili sauce layer.
Removing excess moisture prevents the dip from becoming watery.
Evenly distribute the cooked shrimp over the vegetable layer.
Arrange the shrimp neatly for an appealing presentation.
Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the shrimp layer.
Use freshly shredded cheese for the best flavor.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together.
Serve the dip with crackers or chips and enjoy.
Provide a small serving spoon or knife for easy serving.
