All About This Gouda Shrimp Dip
This dip was inspired by an appetizer my husband and I enjoyed in Columbia, South Carolina. The dip came to the table piping hot and in a small cast iron skillet. It was made with mild gouda cheese and chopped up shrimp. It never occurred to me to add shrimp to any hot cheesy, dip, but it works incredibly well!

How To Make Gouda Shrimp Dip
The ingredient list for this dip is not fancy, nor is it extensive, so there aren’t excuses for not trying this dip! This shrimp dip starts with cream cheese, mayo, and garlic. I added finely chopped cooked shrimp, chopped cooked bacon, shredded gouda, and Parmesan cheese. I baked this up in a small cast iron skillet, but any 8 x 8-inch baking dish will work. The shrimp dip will broil until it gets a little color and is hot and bubbly. Then hit it with a little more cooked bacon!
What Goes With Shrimp Dip?
I would serve this dip with crudites, pita chips, thick crackers or scoop chips. Like a lot of hot dips, you may need to reheat if not consumed right away. BUT, on the flipside, this dip can be made in advance. Simply combine the ingredients, place everything in the baking dish and refrigerate until ready. If baking a cold dip, allow for a few extra minutes in the oven.

Loz says
I’d like to make this for a work party but would need to make it in advance—would this fish still hold well reheated? If so, any reheating tips? If only have access to a microwave at work.
Tanya Schroeder says
Are you able to heat it up at work at all? Ideally, you could make it in advance, but do not bake it until you get to work. But you should be able to reheat this recipe.

Can you use Greek yogurt instead of mayo?
Tanya Schroeder says
You could, although the consistency and flavor would change. My advice would be to use half mayo and half yogurt.
