Brookie's Favorite Shrimp Dip

 I was talking with a friend of mine the other day about why she hasn't written in her blog in so long and how I missed reading it.  She said, "Well, a lot of people started writing cooking blogs so I decided to stop mine." (or something along those lines) Tracy is such a talented writer.  I hope she finds her sweet spot again and starts a new blog or picks up with the old one.  Anyway, this is not a cooking blog, but Savell was going through my recipe box last night looking for a favorite recipe for salmon and came across this.  She said, "Brookie's Favorite Shrimp Dip... How come I've never eaten this?"  Which got me to thinking I haven't made this dip in so long and it goes all the way back to our Alison's days (I think that's where I got the recipe, actually.) and Brookie always wanted me to make this dip anytime we went to a party.  So, in honor of where all the love began and lots of parties we went to at one time together, here is Brookie's Favorite Shrimp Dip.  

2 packages of cream cheese seasoned with Worcestershire sauce and garlic powder 

cocktail sauce 

2 lbs fresh shrimp, boiled and peeled 

green onions

mozzarella cheese

tomatoes 

Combine cream cheese, Worcestershire sauce and garlic powder (to taste).  Peel shrimp, and season with Tony's seasoning.  

Layer -  I always used a round platter/serving dish.  

Cream Cheese

cocktail sauce 

shrimp 

cheese

onions 

tomatoes 

Serve with Wheat Thins or Ritz. 

And, Brookie would probably add, have some Budweiser on hand.
