 Most of the time a dip is something that happens while we are on our way to making a real meal, but that part of our intelligence gets waylayed by something called 'The Munchies"...

 Usually for me, this manifests itself by forcing me to squirt half a bottle of chocolate syrup into a jar of peanut butter, and grabbing whatever I can find to dip into this mixture-- Dipping items don't necessarily have to be edible ie: Fingers, Wooden cooking tools ect, but it helps to have some around...

  Amazingly there are products for dipping only... Usually in the veggie/chip sections of some supermarkets. These are postioned perfectly for "Snack-A- Holics " who might not have figured out that they can make these great tasting little side-dishes for themselves... Save a few bucks, already! :)

 Here is the link to a great site called Better Recipes.

 There is a contest going on with $250.00 bucks in prizes for your creations... That's about the average amount that most folks will spend on dips, especially after a night of partying...

 Go over and take a look, have fun and come back here with you comments and recipes! I'd love to see 'em! :)

Okay here's that lazy dip.
1/2 lb small to medium shrimp steamed
one can cream of mushroom soup
8 ounces sour cream

First steam your shrimp I use a large pot or dutch oven in the bottom of the pot place an old aluminum plate upside down. Use a fork to punch some holes in it first. Put your shrimp in then sprinkle a little Old Bay seasoning and add about 5 bay leaves. Add about 1/2 can of your favorite beer and steam until the shrimp turn pink (This is a good time to finish off the other 1/2 of the beer while you wait..

In a food processor mince 2-3 cloves of garlic and about 1 1/2 teaspoons of chopped scallions. Add shrimp and mince until it is well mixed.

Use a large bowl to mix soup sour cream and the minced mixture together chill and serve. Before serving you can garnish with chopped chives and feel free to add roasted red bell peppers too.

That's sound great, Cheryl! ;)

I've gotten my hands on this very deeply smoked Virginia Ham, and some Brie... There's something really good going to come from this! :)
