    3 pt. Hot Shrimp Dip


    Source of Recipe


    "Simply the Best, p.15" Patty Paulsen, Monterey, California

    Recipe Introduction


    original poster's note: We think that it works every bit as well chilled.
    "When Patty found that a friend's recipe for hot shrimp dip was loaded with calories and contained many hard-to-find ingredients, she went to the drawing board and came up with this supereasy, ultratasty low-fat dip."

    List of Ingredients




    2/3 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
    1/4 cup nonfat cream cheese
    1/2 pound shrimp, cooked -- peeled and diced
    1 tomato -- chopped
    1 onion -- chopped
    1/4 cup diced green chiles -- drained
    2 garlic cloves -- minced
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    8 ounces whole wheat italian bread -- cut into 24 slices and toasted

    Recipe



    In a large nonstick skillet over low heat, melt the ricotta and cream cheeses. Add the shrimp, tomato, onion, chiles, garlic and salt; cook, stirring as needed, until heated throough, 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve at once with the toast.

    Serves 8.
