Tips

Ensure the cream cheese has reached room temperature as it will be easier to mix and will lead to a smoother dip.
To bring cream cheese to room temperature place on the counter for 15-20 minutes or unwrap and place in a microwave safe bowl. Heat in 10-15 second intervals, checking in between to see if it has softened.
Use an electric mixer to make sure everything is whipped nice and smooth. Not only is this quicker, it will make the dip creamier.
Dry the shrimp before chopping and adding to the dip to avoid a watery consistency.
Serve this as a hot or cold dip. To heat, transfer the dip to an oven safe pan and bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes until warmed through.
Make this dip at least an hour in advance to give the flavors time to meld.
