8 oz. cream cheese, softened
One quarter cup mayonnaise
One quarter cup onion, finely chopped
1 tsp. lemon juice
1 clove garlic, minced
One half tsp. hot sauce
One half tsp. Old Bay Seasoning or seafood seasoning
1 pound small shrimp, cleaned, cooked and chopped

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Serve with crackers or toast points. You can make this a day ahead to cut down on preparation work. This starter is quick and easy and very good.

The Skinny: Use light cream cheese and mayo.
