Spinach-Shrimp Dip

Directions

1. 1
   Thaw the spinach, then squeeze out as much water as possible.
2. 2
   Combine spinach, sour cream, mayonnaise and horseradish in a mixing bowl; you can also do this in a food processor if you like a more pureed consistency (I often do it by hand, or do it VERY CAREFULLY in the food processor so as not to over-process).
3. 3
   Stir in the dry soup mix, the chopped water chestnuts and the onion; stir well.
4. 4
   Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to let flavours meld.
5. 5
   Before serving, stir shrimp into dip mixture.
6. 6
   Cut off the top of the loaf of bread and hollow it out, reserving the lid and the inner bread chunks to serve alongside.
7. 7
   Fill hollowed bread shell with dip and serve with the bread, cut into chunks, along with an assortment of crackers and carrot sticks.
