Two things; if you've not checked out Damn Delicious blog, you need to.  She has the best recipes. Her photos alone make me hungry. 

Second thing...we can now meet in person for book club, which means books, wine, food and laughter! 

I opted to bring an appetizer to this month's meeting. Saw this on Damn Delicious and knew it was a winner. While I'm not at book club yet, I have tasted this (all chefs have to taste their food) and this dish is DAMN DELICIOUS! 

Shrimp Scampi Dip
Recipe from Damn Delicious

Serves 4

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 8 ounces medium shrimp, peeled, deveined and roughly chopped
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more, to taste
• 1/4 cup white wine*
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
• 4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil a 9-inch baking dish or coat with nonstick spray.

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add shrimp, garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pink, about 2 minutes. Stir in wine and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Bring to a simmer; remove from heat and stir in cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, parsley, 1/4 cup mozzarella and Parmesan.

Spread mixture into the prepared baking dish; sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella. Place into oven and bake until bubbly and golden, about 10-12 minutes.

Serve immediately.
