Hot Shrimp Dip

I was going through my personal blog and found some recipes hidden in there! Here's one:

Hot Shrimp Dip

I created this awhile back when I had some leftover shrimp in the fridge. We think it would be also awesome on it's own without the shrimp - maybe less tarragon and lime juice? I would have to experiment with it some more, butit was great as is!

1/2 cup cooked shrimp, chopped fine
1 T lime juice
2 cloves garlic, crushed
Mix shrimp, juice and garlic to marinate before you start the rest.

1 Tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 small onion, chopped fine
1/2 tomato, chopped fine

Heat oil and saute vegetables. Add:

2 T butter
8 oz. cream cheese
2 t fresh basil, chopped
2 t fresh tarragon, chopped
1 t fresh thyme, chopped
1 t fresh parsley, chopped

Heat and stir until smooth. Turn off heat and add the shrimp AND its marinade, and 2 T grated parmesan cheese. Stir well. Serve warm with crackers or veggie dippers, or spread on bruschetta.
