- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or a sturdy spatula to blend the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth and creamy.
Step 2
Add the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce (if using), garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the cream cheese mixture. Mix until well combined.
Step 3
Fold in the finely chopped shrimp, fresh dill, and half of the green onions. Mix gently to ensure the shrimp is evenly distributed without breaking it down too much.
Step 4
Transfer the shrimp dip to a serving dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Step 5
Garnish with the remaining green onions and an extra sprinkle of fresh dill, if desired.
Step 6
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve cold with crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh vegetables.
