This Shrimp Spinach Artichoke Dip was actually made and photographed last summer. Our daughter loved it – this kid’s palate is unbelievable, y’all – and the entire bowl of dip was consumed before July 4th festivities began.
However, just because we made this during the summertime doesn’t mean it’s not good for winter, too.
Creamy, gooey and delicious, it’s the perfect year-round appetizer. It cooks on the stovetop, so it’s perfect indoors or outdoors. (You know, in case you’ve got some tailgating to do and want to heat it up on your grill!)
It’s a fun spin on a well-loved appetizer… assuming you’re into shrimp.
If you love these base flavors but want something with a kick, try out Jalapeno Artichoke Dip.

If you have a shellfish allergy, skip this dip or make it sans shrimp. We don’t need any allergic reactions.
If you’re not super into spinach or artichokes, this might not be your fave.
However, if you love Spinach and Artichoke Dip? Give this recipe a spin and see what you think!
