Hi my name is Marzia and I’m addicting to warm and bubbly dips. This is the easiest, most addicting chipotle shrimp corn dip you’ll ever have. The first time I made this dip was for an impromptu get together with friends. Not expecting much, I put it together rather quickly and popped it in the oven minutes before they arrived. And out came the most bubbly and melty ooey-gooey dip that had us all standing around the baking dish with tortilla chips in hand. With it being such an instant winner, I knew I had to share my chipotle shrimp corn dip with you!
Okay, I know it’s a little too early to be thinking about super bowl, but are you thinking about what you’re serving at your super bowl shindig? There’s always time to test out this chipotle shrimp corn dip for New Year’s Eve and then make it again for the big game! Other dips I highly suggest: Jalapeño Popper Dip, Slow Cooker Spinach Artichoke Dip, and of course, you can’t go wrong with the Philly Cheesesteak Dip. Just saying, my Texas Chili would be an excellent addition too! I had a couple of people comment that they won a chili cook-off with it! I mean, WHAT?!
What do you need to make this hot chipotle shrimp corn dip?
Cooked shrimp chopped onions, scallions, garlic defrosted corn Chipotle peppers Chopped green chilies Mayo Sour cream Cream cheese Hot sauce Lime juice Salt Shredded Oaxaca cheese
I can’t find Oaxaca cheese, is there a substitute?
Depending on where you live, Oaxaca cheese may or may not be available. Usually, it’s found where the Cotija cheese is kept in the refrigerated section of the grocery store near the shredded cheeses. However, if you cannot find queso Oaxaca, feel free to use Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack cheese for this recipe. Keep in mind, as always; it’s best if you shred cheese from a block rather than buying pre-shredded. Pre shredded cheese is often coated in products to keep it from sticking together so it won’t give you that melty stretch!
How to make chipotle corn dip:
Is this shrimp and corn dip really spicy?
We didn’t find it to be spicy at all! I used two chipotle peppers and three tablespoons of adobo sauce, and it was perfect. Keep in mind with all the dairy that’s in this dip; it cuts back on the heat quite a bit. So even if you use less than the quantities listed, I suggest using more than your usual amount because this dip tastes best when it has a little heat to it.
I’m expecting a large crowd, can I make a larger batch?
Sure! I suggest using a 13×9 baking dish that is at least 2-3 inches deep, so the dip doesn’t overflow.
How do I serve this dip?
I like it best with tortilla chips, but you could also serve it with butter or water crackers! I hope this inspires you to throw together a batch of homemade chipotle shrimp corn dip. It’s easy and I’m sure it’s going to be as much of a crowd-pleaser for you as it was for me!
