This creamy, tangy shrimp appetizer bread is perfect for entertaining!
Can you believe February is already upon us? Where are the days going? In preparation for Valentine’s Day, I did quite a bit of recipe testing in my kitchen. One of the recipes that was born and then morphed into this dish was a deliciously creamy, tangy shrimp dip using one of my favorite new sauces – Not Ketchup’s Tangerine Hatch Chile Sauce
.
Just a few ingredients whip together in no time flat and you have a fantastic dip that can be served with crackers – but then I thought what about a hot appetizer? I took some of the tasty dip, smeared it on some thick soft french bread and voila! A warm, crunchy, creamy, tangy shrimp appetizer bread you can enjoy (or hey, even share)!

Save RecipeIngredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temp
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 2 TBS lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- 3/4 pound cooked shrimp, diced small
- 3 - 4 TBS Not Ketchup Tangerine Hatch Chile Dipping Sauce
- 1 loaf thick french bread
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, lemon juice, lemon zest, diced cooked shrimp, and the Not Ketchup Tangerine Hatch Chile Dipping Sauce in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Blend on low speed until evenly combined. (Taste, and adjust seasonings as needed).
- Cut a thick style loaf of French bread in half horizontally, then gently cut into (but not all the way through) the bread into approximately 1 to 2-inch slices - this will allow you to tear off appetizer sized pieces once the bread has baked.
- Evenly divide the shrimp mixture between the two prepared halves, and smear spread evenly over the tops.
- Place prepared bread on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 - 15 minutes, or until heated through and bread is slightly crispy.
- Break into wedges and enjoy immediately.
