Love & Best Dishes: Molded Shrimp Dip Recipe 

Would y’all use the real shrimp or the canned shrimp?

Must be the OCD in me but I LOVE that Paula always gets every bit of ingredients with a spatula. I’m a “scraper” myself. 😉

I have also used a good shrimp cocktail sauce instead of tomato soup, because you get that horseradish taste.

This is the best shrimp dip-mold ever! Served this at my wedding 35 years ago. Thank you Dale and Paula.

Harkens back to the 1950's when ladies used molds for fancy luncheons. Looks appetizing -- may try it when we get into the holiday season! Thanks Miss Paula and Theresa...God bless.

Very pretty, Paula. Thinly sliced, paper thin cukes would be pretty layered for scales of fish. Even without a fish mold, you could use a fluted Bundt cake tube type pan too. 🦐🐠

Teresa, I woulda thought the same way about the shrimp 🍤.

My sister always made this for us at Christmas time every year. It's my favorite shrimp dip ever. BTW, this tastes just fine no matter what mold you use, even a loaf pan will work, or a glass bowl. It all tastes the same. Also excellent with simple ritz crackers.

My mom made this for many years when I was growing up. In fact, I just bought two copper scallop shell molds just to recreate the memories. We always used fresh shrimp and served with stone ground wheat crackers. So Christmas always had the shrimp mold dip, hot crab dip and scalloped oysters, and of course, ham biscuits!

This is amazing. You know Paula and Teresa, I was just thinking about this very same shrimp dip for past two days! I never had the recipe for it. My cousin use to make this dip and way back in my single lady days my best friend and I asked my cousin Nancy for this dip recipe as we had it at her party and it was so delish! Nancy gave the recipe to my friend and she made it for our party and we doubled the recipe due to the large crowd of people attending the party. We put it in a regular cake sized mold but I think my friend forgot to spray the mold before putting the shrimp dip in it. We could not get it to unmold and we had a big delicious mess but we served it any way by scooping it all into a bowl. Everyone loved the dip even though it looked like a pink mess.lol She never did give me the recipe for this shrimp dip and I was just thinking about calling my cousin to see if she still had this recipe on hand so I could make it again now that it's many moons later. LOL Thank you for sharing this recipe with all of us. It is really great dip even if using fresh vegetables like celery sticks, different colored bell peppers cut into either boats or large chunks and thick slices of cucumbers as well as crackers of various sorts.

I agree with Teresa. Why in the world would you use canned shrimp when you have fresh Georgia shrimp available. Just add the flavorings that are in the canned shrimp. Looks fancy and delicious. Thanks for sharing. Love these videos.

That looks so beautiful I haven't made a recipe in a long time it's time for me to go in my kitchen thank you for giving me in the encouragement I needed again God bless and stay safe everyone❤️😍🤩🥰

My aunt makes this with tuna instead of shrimp

The sauce you speak of sounds yum yum 😁 I just made this shrimp dip for 4th of July cookout, it was a hit, as always! My dad always loved it on toast. If you don't have a food processor, I've always melted the cream cheese in a sauce pan with the tomato soup. Then add everything, including the tiny canned shrimp that I just mash in the can with a fork.

I make this for the holidays. The original recipe has cream of shrimp soup and canned tiny shrimp. It always comes out great.

Actually Theresa did the right thing with using the fresh shrimp over the canned. The canned is just nasty.

That looks delish!!! I don’t know what canned shrimp tastes like but would choose fresh, if possible. Thank you!

I’d use fresh shrimp also. And start from raw, and steam.

Love this recipe. So pretty when it’s molded!

I made this a month ago and boy was it the bomb.

Where did you find the fish mold? I love it.

This Molded Shrimp Dip recipe looks so delicious Paula.

Im with Teresa! Fresh shrimp!! Looks delicious!! 💖

OMG....that is my husband. He is RU-vid famous now...lol We have been fans for many years. Love watching you cook.

I remember those copper fish molds that you hug up on the wall in the kitchen back in the 70's.

Thank God Teresa knew to use REAL FRESH SHRIMP !!!!! Especially since it's easy for you guys to get! What a beautiful mold that you found Teresa way to go! Also, Paula you can use all sorts of stuff like fresh dill weed for decoration, too! This fish dish would look great on top of some blue kitchen cellophane wrap! Thank you for the recipe Dale!

My aunt makes this but with a tsp of lemon juice and tsp of worchestire sauce and half of the celery you added. Can use crab meat if no shrimp.

That's amazing...I could just taste it😋😋😋

I’ve had this recipe for many years. It is superb!

I love watching you cook .me and my husband got to eat at one of your restaurants we went to pigeon forge for anniversary so we had our anniversary dinner at the one of your restaurants

I use to cater. I would make this into a Christmas tree at Christmas!

This looks delicious! Thanks for another great recipe!

Yum! I brush mayonnaise as a lubricant in the mold.

Looks wonderful!

The little canned shrimp have a whole lot of flavor so he might have added more of the fresh chopped shrimp to get more shrimp flavor!

Paula you should do some keto receipes for those who are watching their weight!!!!!!!

Sounds so delicious. I would just put it in a bowl and when it gels pour it out as the shape of the bowl..... lol lol. Same flavor yum!!!

I think I will use a Christmas tree mold and decorate with cherry tomatoes and parsley to make it look like a Christmas tree.

Interesting recipe. This would be so pretty on a holiday table all dressed up! Star of the show!

Fresh is always better, you would have to soak the canned in ice water to get rid of the salt. Good call Theresa!

Molded shrimp ! I prefer fresh shrimp thanks

I would take the back of a spoon to push back those edges to make them look neater!

Teresa, I would have done the same thing. I dont like the can shrimp, i buy the frozen salad shrimp instead but I don't have access to fresh.

Beautiful🦈!!!🙂❤️🙂

I love YumYum sauce served at hibachi restaurants. Looks like that.

My Gramma made a version of this recipe with crab meat, instead of shrimp, for family gatherings

Theresa, where did you find your fish mold? I LOVE IT!!!

Will try this. Yummy…

I'd prefer fresh shrimp, if I can get some but got to make do with a can. that looks good. did a great job Paula and you as well Theresa. good day to both.

This looks so delicious! This video will just let me imagine the taste :)

That’s amazing. Where did Teresa get that mold

It's called Jekyll Island Shrimp Mold.

we used this recipe but we added horseradish and hot sauce to the soup.

Beautiful ❤️. Looks like he is swimming thru the seaweed.

My name is Karen and I live in Kitchener Ontario Canada….I agree with Theresa I prefer to use frozen whole raw shrimp that I cook myself. I cut them in chunks to add to the shrimp spread as I prefer the flavour of the whole larger ones. And If you have the fresh Georgia ones…..yum yum! One think I can’t stand is those frozen soggy shrimp that taste fishy! They are disgusting. Anyway my recipe is the same as Dale’s……except there is chopped green onion in it…….my mother also used to make it every year for Christmas.

Too cute! Good eye Teresa!

I used to make this same recipe, only using tuna fish and calling it tuna moose. I will have to try it with the shrimp, since I like shrimp better than tuna!

I love you Paula!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Like I always say, if you're going to eat shrimp, wait until it's moldy!

Thanks for sharing my recipe. FYI I'm a boy :)

Vitamins B 1 for memory is a must at our age!

Where did Teresa find that fish mold! They are hard to find today as molded salads are a bit out of fashion, but that one is so cute!

Why not use an offset spatula to smooth the mix?

I think this would have been really good with roasted shrimp

We've always called this Ashville Salad.

Teresa needs to ask Eddie how to video without all the rainbow bursts. While pretty it distracts.

Pretty much the same recipe that I use for shrimp dip, but instead of the soup, salt and gelatin, I just use a jar of cocktail sauce. Cocktail sauce, cream cheese, shrimp and scallions

I cannot wait to get to the grocery store later! 4:21am here in AZ.

Tell Bobby to turn the hot water heater down before you burn yourself Paula. xoxo.

Wait up, how much mayonaise.???

I'm glad to see you having that many Subscribers, cos you're Awesome❤❤❤🙌

Where is the metal fish mold from?

This looks good but I got tired watching the steps you have to go through. 🐟😋❤

Where did Theresa find the awesome fish mold? Thank you.

Molds are hard to deal with, period!

I have that same food processor!

GOOD MORNING PAULA & TERESA. OMG, LOOKS GOOD.

For vegetarians out there (and people if you knew how gelatin was made...you may very well not eat it anymore--it's almost as bad as how they make hot dogs), can you substitute with agar-agar? Paula tomato soup in a mic...do you know how messy that would be?

I'll look at my recipe's to send you that ive been eaten all my life 😀 in the middle of moving right now have a great evening

So cute! I bet its delicious!!

Teresa whip the camera lens it’s showing poor quality video

FYI - Dale is a guy. He commented below. I was curious. 😆

Paula I just love your videos and recipes! Enjoy them a lot! Don’t know if Teresa is aware of it but the lens on her phone camera or what ever she is taking the video with is dirty and smeared. It could be the humidity! It looks foggy. Do keep the delicious recipes coming!😊

the recipe name 🤣🤣🤣

here

Good morning Paula

Paula is Teresa and Eddie family if so that's sweet

This makes me nervous! It is so scattered!

You definitely do not want to use oil spray containing flour on a dish that will not be baked! Where did Teresa get the mold?

Love you All

oh hell NO

NO HATE HERE AT ALL.. AT ALLLLL... CAUSE I do LOVE Paula, but, I have to imagine, that anyone eating The Lady n Sons back in the day, and her bag lunches, likely everyone ate a little Paula Dean finger slobber .. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣... This show should be called LOVE AND BEST FINGER LICKIN' DISHES. HAHAHAHA... 😋💝🤟🥰😉👍... True story here,, and God as my Witness, I personally seen a woman mixing a Certain Potato Salad in what was probly a 10 gal cooler bucket full for a town cooking event who licked her arm off and then kept mixing without washing first 😳.. Lord only knows people, what all the world's people have ate without knowing. You can't trust people, now days esp.. its one thing to cook for Family... as we've all done it im pretty certain. But when it's for the public .. 😬 And please don't think I'm trying to change Miss Paula, what happens in the home stays in the home, I'd totally eat a meal with her... im too practical of a person and im quite certain it's a different story when company is comming... and even if not ya just gotta mix in the love yo 💝🙂💝...

If you’re going to trim the fins, cut off the beard.

You made a mess instead, what’s the matter with you.😂

Paula you kept licking your fingers and sticking it right back in that shrimp dip. I know you’re doing this at home but you also are doing it for people to watch to learn please stop.🙁

I absolutely hate it when cooks lick their fingers and then put their hands back in the bowl without washing them with soap and water. Tell Paula what a turn off it is for viewers when cooks don't display sanitory procedures.

You’ve been dong this show too long, and you don’t know how molds work?
