Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Coat a 6 or 8 inch baking dish or oven-safe skillet with cooking spray.
- Heat the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes or until softened. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Reduce the heat to low. Add the cream cheese and milk, then stir until melted. Place the shrimp in the pan and gently stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in the lemon juice.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the sour cream, 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan cheese and half of the parsley.
- Spread the dip into an even layer in the prepared dish. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and the remaining 2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese over the top.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted. If you prefer a browned top, you can broil the dip for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Sprinkle with parsley and serve with crackers, bread. For low carb or gluten free serve with vegetables.
