Mamma's Easy Shrimp Dip

This is a super easy shrimp dip that is so addicting and it is an original recipe from Mamma's kitchen...


You will need:
30 - 40 large cooked shrimp (buy frozen pre-cooked and defrost)
Medium Jar of Marinated Artichokes
1 Lemon (you will only use the juice)
1 block softened cream cheese (you can use reduced fat and no will ever know)
2 Cups shredded Mozzarella Cheese (fine shredded melts the best)
1/4  - 1/3 tsp Garlic Powder (depends on your love of garlic)
Red pepper flakes - to Taste
Salt & Pepper - to taste
Fresh Parsley (Optional - just for garnish)

Chop shrimp and artichokes and place in mixing bowl.  Add juice of one lemon.  Mix in all other ingredients except Parsley.  Put in flat baking or pie dish.  Bake at 300 degrees F for 45 minutes or until brown.  Garnish with whole or chopped parsley and serve hot.

This could also be made in a crock pot and kept warm through out a party or event.  For crock pot add small amount of heavy cream to keep it moist and easy to dip.
