Instructions

Preheat the Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures that your dip will bake evenly and achieve that golden, bubbly perfection. -
Prepare the Dip Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to blend together the softened cream cheese, shredded sharp white cheddar, sour cream, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated and smooth. -
Add the Flavorful Ingredients
Gently fold in the artichoke hearts, cooked shrimp, cubed fresh mozzarella, finely chopped shallots, and fresh thyme leaves. Continue to mix until all the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the creamy base. -
Transfer and Bake
Spoon the mixture into a baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Lightly sprinkle the top with paprika to give it a beautiful color and a hint of extra flavor. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dip is hot and bubbling. -
Serve and Enjoy
Once baked, remove the dip from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving. Serve it hot with your favorite tortilla chips for dipping. Enjoy this indulgent treat at your next party or gathering, and watch it quickly become a favorite among your guests! 🎉🧀
