Surf & Turf Smoked Cream Cheese Dip


  • Author: The Backyard Palate
  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 min
  • Yield: 6-8 servings 1x

Description

Need a tailgate crowd pleaser? This dip combines tender steak, juicy shrimp, and creamy smoked cheese off the PRIME Pellet Grill for a mouthwatering experience. Perfect for tailgates or really any gathering!


Ingredients

Scale

4 blocks (8 oz each) cream cheese

All Purpose seasoning (we used Kinder’s)

Steak seasoning

4 steak tenderloins

1 lb raw shrimp

Diced parsley


Instructions

Preheat PRIME Pellet Grill: Set your smoker to 275°F.

Prepare Cream Cheese: Score the top of the cream cheese blocks in a crosshatch pattern and season generously with Kinder’s All Purpose seasoning.

Smoke Cream Cheese: Place the cream cheese on the smoker for 45 minutes.

Cook Meats: While the cheese is smoking, dice the steak and shrimp (ensure they are frozen) and cook in a piping hot skillet with your steak seasoning until done.

Assemble: Once the cream cheese is smoked, top it with the cooked steak and shrimp, then garnish with diced parsley.

Serve: A crunchy and slightly salty chip or cracker would complement the creamy, savory flavors beautifully. Here are a few options:

  1. Tortilla Chips – Thick, sturdy tortilla chips will hold up well to the dip and provide a great crunch.
  2. Pita Chips – Their light, crispy texture adds a nice contrast to the creamy dip.
  3. Ritz Crackers – A buttery, slightly sweet flavor that pairs wonderfully with both the shrimp and steak.
  4. Kettle-Cooked Chips – Their hearty, crispy texture can stand up to the hearty dip.
  5. Crostini – Lightly toasted slices of baguette or any crusty bread would add an elegant touch.

Dive in and enjoy!
