Savannah has always been known for its seaports. Back in the day, it was a main point to export the state’s bounty of rice and lumber. On the coastline, people could watch the shrimp boats with their lights flickering in the distance. While the port is still busy, the shrimping business has waned. Here, this dip honors this city’s staple with a quick and easy recipe. 

This dip doesn’t have extra bits or veggies or aromatics to get in the way of the chopped-up shrimp. Here, the cooked and chopped shrimp are mixed with a rich duo of cream cheese and sour cream. Aromatic dried herbs and a spicy addition of hot sauce, horseradish, and Cajun seasoning complement the dip without blowing out your taste buds.

Horseradish cuts through the heaviness of the cream cheese and sour cream, while the hot sauce and Cajun spice give a satisfying bit of contrasting zippy and smoky spice.
