Shrimp Platter Appetizer

1 (8 oz.) cream cheese softened
1/2 c. sour cream
1/4 c. mayonnaise

2 cans broken or tiny shrimp, drained & rinsed
1 c. (or less) seafood cocktail sauce
2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese

Combine cream cheese, sour cream and mayo. Spread on a 12 inch plate. Scatter shrimp over the cheese layer. Spread cocktail sauce over shrimp. Cover entire plate with cheese. Serve immediately with crackers.

This is a great appetizer. We always have it during the holidays... The only thing I do differently is that I just squeeze the cocktail sauce right out of the container fairly evenly over the shrimp. I probably only use 1/4-1/2 cup. I don't like the cocktail sauce to be too overpowering. It is fantastic with wheat thins or town house crackers!
