This delightful Polynesian Ginger Dip is an easy, flavorful appetizer that will elevate your next party or get-together. It was a hit at a function I attended a few years ago, and since then, I’ve been making it whenever I’m craving something zesty and satisfying. The creamy base of mayonnaise and sour cream is perfectly balanced with the aromatic ginger and garlic, while the addition of shrimp and fresh herbs brings a burst of flavor and texture. I’ve had many compliments on this dish, and I hope you will too. Serve it with your favorite chips, crackers, or fresh veggie sticks for the perfect snack or appetizer!
