  • Salt and pepper to taste

  4. In a bowl, mix feta, sour cream, mayonnaise, lime juice, chili powder, salt, and pepper to create the creamy sauce.

  6. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.

Notes

For added flavor, consider adding chopped jalapeños or cayenne. Fresh shrimp are recommended, but frozen shrimp work fine if thawed properly.
