This white cheddar shrimp dip is Uno’s Copycat! A blend of cheeses and shrimp are baked to creaminess and served with toasted baguette slices making one delicious appetizer!
My awesome sister in-laws and I happened to order this Shrimp & Crab dip from Uno’s I loved it so much I wanted to recreate it! There was something about this creamy appetizer and baguette slices that went so well together. The cheddar cheese is so mild and does not overpower the dip in any way. However I don’t quite remember tasting the crab meat in the Uno’s version, besides my husband isn’t really into the crab imitation stuff so I omitted crab. However this still tastes delicious! I highly recommend trying this dip!
