    Ooh, that looks delicious! I'd have to fight my middle daughter tooth and nail just to get the shrimp on the platter though. ;)Thanks so much for sharing.

    My aunt make this, and instead she covers a whole platter with a thinner layer of cream cheese and then the shrimp/cocktail mix. It also works great with chili sauce (which looks abut the same) that doesn't have the horseradish in it. (I know some people don't like that.) Also, it looks pretty with chopped parsley sprinkled on top.
