Ingredients
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1/4 cup light mayonnaise
2 teaspoons wasabi paste
10-12 ounces cooked peeled shrimp with tails on
Directions
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and light mayonnaise until smooth and well combined.
Add the wasabi paste to the yogurt mixture and stir vigorously until the paste is fully incorporated and the dip is uniform in color. Taste and adjust the wasabi level if desired for more or less heat.
Transfer the wasabi cream dip to a serving bowl. If the shrimp were frozen, ensure they have been thawed completely and patted dry with paper towels.
Arrange the cooked shrimp around the bowl of dip, fanning them out or stacking them decoratively with the tails visible. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Comments
This is a cheap, fast dip that plays well to North Carolina's coastal shrimp supply, and all four ingredients are standard stock at every major chain in Charlotte. The stated 15 minutes is honest if you're using pre-cooked shrimp; if raw, add 10 minutes to the clock. At roughly $3–4 per serving, it's decent for entertaining, though the wasabi heat can overwhelm a family dinner with kids. It doesn't reheat—this is a same-night dish meant for snacking or appetizer service.
