If I had to choose between shrimp scampi pasta versus this shrimp scampi dip, I choose this dip hands down every single time. No questions asked.

Because, really, the pasta form doesn’t even come close to this.

You get tons of cheesiness and creaminess that you just don’t get in the pasta. Plus, finger foods always taste better.

Just be sure to have some extra bread slices for dipping. We ran out of bread and had to make an immediate grocery store run so that we can finish this dip!
