While you might usually see buffalo sauce paired with chicken, I can promise you that it’s also the ideal partner to succulent shrimp and this creamy, cheesy, spicy dip proves it unequivocally. With bits of shrimp, plenty of buffalo sauce tucked into a creamy base, and some blue cheese to balance out that spiciness, you could say it’s the be-all-end-all of party dips. (But luckily you ever need to limit yourself to just one dip option!)

As you might have guessed from the name, shrimp is a major component here and you start by sautéing it in some butter
until it’s almost cooked through. It will finish baking in the oven later, so no need to take it all the way to opaque at this point.

The shrimp (and some green onion) is mixed with into a creamy base of cream cheese, mayo, and buffalo hot sauce. Oh, and also two kinds of cheese – cheddar brings the flavor while mozzarella provides optimum meltiness.

But those aren’t the only cheeses involved. There’s also blue cheese that gets crumbled over the top, and we all know that blue cheese is the perfect way to temper some buffalo heat. They just belong together.

The top becomes a cheesy crust while the inside is more of a molten creamy center and it works with whatever you can dream up to dip in it. Celery sticks, any old cracker… with a dip this good, it’s all fair game.
