Shrimp Dip

Please don't judge this recipe off of what you had at the cabin. I made a lot of mistakes and when made correctly this really is a 5-star recipe!
Sorry I don't have exact measurements for everything. Just add a little bit of everything and add more as needed.

Ingredients:
  • 1 pkg cream cheese
  • 1 pint sour cream
  • ranch dressing powder 1 envelope
  • lemon juice
  • ketchup
  • Worcestershire
  • salt & pepper
  • 2 cans of tiny shrimp
  1. Make sure your cream cheese is fully softened.
  2. Mix softened cream cheese and sour cream together.
  3. Mix the rest of the ingredients together except shrimp!
  4. After it is all mixed together well then add shrimp. At the cabin I mixed the shrimp in at the beginning and it shredded it. You want full pieces of shrimp.

This goes great with Ruffles potato chips!

Coconut Syrup

It's my first contribution to the family recipe blog! I love homemade syrup recipes so much better than store bought. I made this syrup this last weekend at the family reunion up at the cabin. We doubled it and it was enough for everyone there. Also we used coconut imitation extract because we couldn't find any real extract, and it tasted just as good! It is so easy to make!
5/5 stars

1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup buttermilk
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp coconut extract (imitation works)

Directions

Put butter, sugar and buttermilk in sauce pan, turn heat to medium high. Stir until butter melts and sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in baking soda and coconut extract. It may start to fizz, keep stirring until it reduces.
