Shrimp Scampi Dip

This is like eating shrimp scampi without carbs.  Not that I pay much attention to that, but out there somewhere are divas watching their waistlines.  Not me.  I ate this for breakfast.

Shrimp Scampi Dip

8 oz.  cream cheese (or Neufchatel if you must)

12-16 medium shrimp, cooked and chopped roughly (I like big chunks)

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 pinch teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more, to taste

1/3 cup white wine

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

Salt & pepper to taste

1/4 cup sour cream

4 Tbsp. mayonnaise

2 Tbsp. parsley

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan

 Oil a 9-inch baking dish or coat with nonstick spray.

Pop the shrimp in a pan.
Add wine, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
Heat lightly.
Remove from heat and stir in cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, parsley, 1/4 cup mozzarella and Parmesan.
Spread mixture into the prepared baking dish; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella. Place into oven and bake at 350 degrees until bubbly and golden, about 10-12 minutes.

Make it a meal:  Serve ahead of Chicken with Saucy Cranberry (see recipe)

Wine:  Chardonnay
