Shrimp & Kale Four Cheese Dip served in a red ceramic dish hot out of the oven

When it comes to entertaining, I love preparing easy appetizers. While the easy appetizers I normally prepare can be pretty simple like veggies and hummus or chips and guacamole, sometimes I like to prepare something a bit more hearty and nutritious.

You can supercharge your easy appetizers by adding nutrient packed veggies like kale. Fortunately my kids love kale, so they’re willing to try anything I make. Just say the words cheese dip (or shrimp) and they’re definitely on board to taste test.

Ingredients

18 shrimp fully cooked and chopped into bite-sized pieces
1 cup kale chopped
½ cup mushrooms chopped
½ cup bell peppers finely chopped
8 grape tomatoes diced
¼ cup green onions diced
1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
8 ounce cream cheese softened
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese shredded
¼ cup cheddar cheese shredded
¼ cup Feta cheese crumbled
¼ cup smoked Gouda cheese shredded
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Sea salt to taste
Black pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven at 400° F.
Pour 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small pan. Heat on medium to high. Add kale and garlic powder to pan and sauté for 8-10 minutes, reducing heat to low about 6 minutes in. Transfer to mixing bowl.
In the same pan used to sauté the kale, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and heat on medium to high. Add peppers, mushrooms and grape tomatoes to pan and sauté for 8-10 minutes, reducing heat to low about 6 minutes in. Remove from heat.
In the mixing bowl with the kale, add peppers, mushrooms, grape tomatoes, softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, shredded cheddar, shredded Parmesan, shredded smoked Gouda and crumbled feta. Stir until well combined.
Add cooked shrimp, green onion, cayenne pepper and lemon juice to bowl mixture.
Add sea salt and pepper to taste. Stir. Taste test your dip. Once your dip is as you like it, transfer it to an oven-safe baking dish.
Bake at 400° F for approximately 10 minutes (stirring the dip halfway through if you’d like). Remove from the oven and your chunky shrimp 4-cheese kale dip is ready to serve! Best enjoyed as an appetizer with tortilla chips.
