Shrimp and Crab Dip

I got this recipe from my friend Jena Willey many years ago when she made it for the 1985 Superbowl.  We still serve it for many football games and other family events.

• 1 can tiny shrimp
• 1 can crab meat
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 c sour cream
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• 1 tsp minced onion
• 12 oz jar seafood cocktail sauce
• chives or green onion, chopped (optional)

Drain shrimp and crab meat in a colander; mix well to combine once they're well drained.  Cream together cream cheese, sour cream, garlic and onion.  Spread cream cheese mixture on the bottom of a 9" square container. (The square Tupperware container works well for this since you can cover and refrigerate it until you are ready to serve the dip.  I have also used a round serving platter.)  Spread the shrimp and crab on top of the cream cheese mixture.  Spread the seafood cocktail sauce on top.  Sprinkle with chives or green onions if desired.  Serve with crackers.
