Seafood Party Platter With Three Dips Recipes

SEAFOOD PARTY PLATTER WITH THREE DIPS

Steps:

• Start by making the dips.
• For the Avocado dip, remove the stem from the top of the avocado. Slice the avocado in half, remove the stone and scoop out the flesh with a spoon. Place in the compact food processor accessory along with the rest of the avocado dip ingredients. Blend until smooth, then spoon out into a small serving bowl.
• For the spicy salsa dip, roughly chop the red onion and tomatoes, then place in the compact food processor along with the rest of the salsa dip ingredients. Pulse a few times until everything is combined and you get your preferred texture (I went with a small-chunk texture). Spoon out into a small serving bowl.
• For the Tzatziki, place all of the tzatziki ingredients in the compact food processor and pulse until combined. Spoon out into a small serving bowl.
• Now arrange all of the platter ingredients on a large plate, tray or serving board. Nestle in the dip bowls, and serve.
• Tip - you can make this platter a couple of hours ahead of time: Simply cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. You will need to stir the salsa before serving, as some of the liquid will separate slightly from the pulsed ingredients if left for too long.

Steps:

• Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add spinach, cover, and cook until tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain in a colander, press to remove remaining moisture, and chop finely.
• Place cream cheese in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high until warm and soft, about 1 minute.
• Remove from the microwave and stir in chopped spinach, artichoke hearts, shrimp, crab, sour cream, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, garlic, and cayenne pepper until well combined. Serve warm.
