Method

Dip Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Shrimp

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a little olive oil and sauté the shrimp until they turn pink and are cooked through, about 3-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and let cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Dip Base

    In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy using a hand mixer or a whisk.

  3. 3

    Add Remaining Ingredients

    Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, Cajun seasoning, minced garlic, chopped green onion, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Incorporate the Cooked Shrimp

    Chop the cooked shrimp into smaller pieces and fold them into the dip mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. 5

    Chill the Dip

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Focaccia Preparation

  1. 6

    Preheat the Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.

  2. 7

    Prepare the Focaccia

    Slice the focaccia bread in half horizontally. Brush both sides with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder and Italian seasoning.

  3. 8

    Grill the Focaccia

    Place the focaccia on the grill, cut side down. Grill for about 3-4 minutes until it is golden brown and crispy. Flip and grill the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  4. 9

    Serve

    Remove the focaccia from the grill and cut it into wedges. Serve warm alongside the chilled Cajun shrimp dip.
