Spread the cream cheese in an even layer in a glass pie pan or 8 x 8 inch baking dish.

Barbara's Notes + Tips

It will be easier to assemble if you let the cream cheese come to room temperature.
Remove from the refrigerator 15 minutes before ready to serve so that the cream cheese can soften.
You can use any size shrimp for this recipe, just chop it into small bite size pieces.
