This retro recipe for chilled shrimp spread is one our family has been making since the ’70s. The original recipe called for one can of the tiny shrimp. Several years ago, I felt adding another can would give the spread even more shrimp flavor and we do love shrimp. So, there you go. You can make it with one can but, why?
Dave requests this for our Christmas party every year. Sophie began requesting it this year, too.
