Preparation

Cooking
  1. Pour the mixture into a baking dish and sprinkle some extra cheese on top.
  2. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Feel free to customize: substitute shrimp with more crab or add diced artichokes. You can assemble the dip a day prior and refrigerate before baking. If the dip seems too thick before baking, mix in a splash of milk to loosen it up.
