Pesto Spinach Shrimp Dip

Last week I had the munchies something serious, so I decided to make myself a good (healthy) dip. I’d just made some mixed herb pesto so I dug through the fridge/freezer to find other things to put in my dip. This is what I came up with … and it was a mighty scrumptious dip, if I do say so myself.

I had some of the wheat thin pops for dipping and loved the nice salty crunch of that popped chip with my newly discovered dip. You need a good sturdy dipper, especially if you’re going to heat it to melt the cheese. I think it would also be amazing on a grilled cheese sandwich, but I’ll have to make more if I want to try that … my lovely dip is all gone now.

Instructions

1. Thaw the spinach in the microwave, then using a clean towel, squeeze out the moisture until the spinach is nice and dry (it will be fairly well packed). Chop the spinach into fine bits then, in a medium mixing bowl, stir together the spinach with the rest of the ingredients.
2. You can serve this dip cold with crackers or chips or put it in a microwave safe bowl, put a bit more cheese on top and bake at 350 until the cheese is nicely melted.
