This Easy Shrimp Dill Dip is a summer staple around my house. I keep a bag of frozen cooked baby shrimp in the freezer. Then, if I see nice fresh dill and arugula at the market, this comes together quickly because the rest of the ingredients are likely stuff I have in my pantry and fridge anyway. Throw all this goodness in the food processor and presto, a cool and refreshing appetizer is born.
Depending on the temperature outside, you could serve my Creamy (No Cream) Asparagus or Roasted Red Pepper and Fennel Soup (hot or cold) as a follow up and call it a day. Homemade and easy – two words I live by all summer long. Recipes like this help me savour it all and I hope they help you too.
