Layered Shrimp Cocktail Spread

Making Layered Shrimp Cocktail Spread:

I used the following ingredients for this delicious appetizer: Cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, fresh lemon juice, grated onion, garlic, chili sauce, prepared horseradish, boiled shrimp, and green onions.

Ingredients for delicious layered shrimp cocktail spread

I started with the cream cheese layer. For this, I beat together softened cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, onion, and garlic. Then, I spread the cream cheese mixture evenly in an 8-inch springform pan. I could have also used an 8-inch Quiche pan or shallow serving dish. I covered the cream cheese layer and refrigerated it overnight to allow for the flavors to blend together.

Preparing cream cheese layer

Next, I made the cocktail sauce by combining the chili sauce, prepared horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, and lemon juice.

Making Cocktail Sauce

Finally, I assembled the layered shrimp cocktail spread. First, I removed the sides of the springform pan from the cream cheese layer. Then, I spread about half of the cocktail sauce over the cream cheese layer. Next, I sprinkled the chopped shrimp on top of the cocktail sauce. Finally, I garnished the layered shrimp cocktail spread with chopped green onion tops. I served this delicious appetizer with crackers. My friend Jim was the first to dive into it! Yum!
