I found that the tomato made it too runny. Next time I will omit the tomato, and substitute red bell peppers for the green.

My family absolutely loves this spread. I never tried it with can shrimp I always used frozen shrimp and cook them myself. The light seasoning on the shrimp and the ingredients from the spread makes a tasty combination.
