Shrimp Dip

To start with, my husband does not like fish or seafood AT ALL, but for some reason, he loves this dip. It is simple to put together and super snackalicious!

1 8oz box cream cheese brought to room temp for easy mixing
1 small container of sour cream (I buy the larger containers and use approx a heaping cup)
1/4 to 1/2 C Finely diced onion
1 Tbsp garlic salt (or to taste)
Juice of 1 lemon (I usually just splash in some of my bottle lemon juice)
1 can tiny shrimp

Using a mixer, combine the cream cheese and sour cream until smooth. Add the onion, garlic salt, and lemon juice and mix well. Here is where I check to make sure that the consistency isn't too thick and add a little more sour cream if it is and also taste to be sure that I like the flavor and don't need to add any more garlic salt. Remember that you can always add more of something, but you can't take it out so adjust to your needs and if you want, start with a tsp of the garlic salt and go up from there(I really don't measure anything I just dump and taste). Drain and rinse the shrimp and fold them into the dip; be careful or you will break the shrimp open. Refrigerate for at least an hour to let the flavors combine and serve with Ruffles Potato Chips or I like it with Ritz crackers too. I guess it could be served with veggies, but at my house this is a naughty snack so eating veggies with it defeats our purpose. :0)
