Shrimp are small animals that live on the floor of oceans and lakes. There are over 2,000 different species of shrimp worldwide just like there are several ways to prepare this shrimp dip that is almost always a constant at weddings and a great dip for hoilday parties. This will easily serve 60 guest.
 
Ingredients
2 pounds peeled clean shrimp cut into very tiny pieces 2 sticks butter
2 medium onion chopped 2 medium bell peppers chopped
3 stalks celery chopped 1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder 3/4 cup parsley chopped fine
3/4 cup green onions chopped fine 4 cans cream of mushroom soup or mix with cream of celery
Tabasco Sauce to taste Optional Kitchen Bouquet for color
1 scallion chopped fine optional  
 
Directions
In a large heavy duty pot preferably Teflon but not necessary saute in the butter the onion, bell pepper, celery and scallions until the onions are clear. Add the soups, shrimp, garlic powder, onion powder and Tabasco. Add enough Kitchen Bouquet to change the color of the dish to a light brown color approximately 1 1/2 teaspoons; but do start to slowly add the Kitchen Bouquet rather than all at once. You may need more depending on the color you prefer.

Continue to heat over medium heat 15 to 20 minutes until the shrimp are cooked. Add the parsley and onion tops and cook an additional 5 minutes. Serve with crackers or French bread (baguette) croutons. To make the baguette croutons, see our website.
