My potluck go-to and most requested recipe is actually based off the back of a tin of Campbell's Cream of Shrimp. Start with a tin or two of Campbell's Cream of Shrimp. Add a drained tin of crab meat and 2 - 3 drained tins of tiny shrimp and you've got a very tasty and fancy looking dip. Serve with a package of saltines. It takes about 5 minutes to mix and serve. All ingredients are room temperature and travel well. If you like a bit of crunch in your dip, add some pre-diced red pepper or celery. Avoid onions unless there is time for the dip to sit. If your officemates like spicy, a takeout packet or two of hot sauce works well in this dish.
If you're putting this together at your desk, I'd recommend double bagging the trash and tying it up and tossing it somewhere else so it doesn't stink up the area depending on when the trash gets emptied.
This recipe can also be made into some fancy suitable for a dinner party by adding diced roasted red peppers (again, the type found in a jar) and a container of either sour cream, plain yoghurt or a tub of soft cream cheese. Real shrimp can be substituted for tinned and save some shrimp for garnish. It can be heated, served cold or at room temperature. Serve with fancy artisanal bread or fancy crackers.
