Best Buffalo Shrimp Dip

Keto Shrimp Dip is a tasty twist on the popular appetizer, Buffalo chicken wings. Just as Buffalo chicken is chicken coated in a spicy sauce, this appetizer is made using cooked shrimp tossed with a spicy sauce. However, this is where the similarity ends, as Buffalo chicken wings are hand-held finger food while Buffalo shrimp dip is a delightfully creamy, warm dip!

Warm Appetizer Ideas

Experience has proven that dip recipes with cream cheese make the most popular and best party dips. We suspect this most likely because dips with cream cheese are typically baked and served warm.

We’re not sure exactly what it is about warm appetizers that make them so appealing, but when we serve them at parties, they are the first to disappear. Regardless of planning and preparation, we are never able to keep up with the demand for second and third helpings of them!

Some of our most popular warm appetizers are:

What do you need to make Buffalo Shrimp Dip?

What is Buffalo Sauce made up of?

1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup hot sauce

How do you make Buffalo Shrimp Dip?

You make Buffalo shrimp dip with a combination of two different varieties of cheese: Mozzarella cheese and cream cheese. Combine chopped cooked shrimp with the cheeses as well as sour cream, mayonnaise, seasonings, and spicy Buffalo sauce. Bake the dip in an oven until it is warm and the cheese melts.

For presentation purposes, it is best to bake the dip in the same casserole dish you will serve it from. We recommend using a dish that is oven-safe, while also pretty, although a disposable aluminum pan will also work.

If you love bacon, we highly recommend that you top the dip with some chopped cooked bacon as we did with this Buffalo Crack Chicken Dip.
