Ingredients:
1/2 pound shrimp, peeled, deveined, and chopped
1/2 pound lump crab meat
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped

Directions:
Cook the Shrimp: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes, until pink and fully cooked. Remove from heat and set aside.
Prepare the Dip: In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
