Categories Condiment/Spread Shellfish Appetizer Super Bowl

Yield 6 to 8 people

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 pound - fresh blue crab meat
12 ounces (1 can) - hearts of palm, slice 1/4 inch thick
1 large - fresh ripe mango, peel and dice mango into 1/2 inch pieces
1 tablespoon - fresh chives, chopped into thin slices
1 tablespoon - fresh mint, lightly chopped
1 red bell pepper, remove seeds and dice
1 fresh jalapeño pepper, small dice
Mojito Dressing:
6 ounces - mayonnaise
1 tablespoon - fresh cilantro
1/2 tablespoon - fresh mint
1 tablespoon - key lime juice
2 ounces - light rum
To taste - salt
To taste - white pepper

Steps:

Place crab meat in a large bowl. When working with crab meat, make sure to remove all residual shells. Lightly toss all ingredients until combined. Add the prepared Mojito Dressing and toss again. Chill until ready to serve. Mojito Dressing: Pour the rum into a small sauce pan over medium to high heat and carefully bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the volume is reduced by half. Then remove from heat and cool completely. In the meantime, lightly chop the cilantro and mint, using only leaves and discarding the stems. Finally, in a medium bowl combine the mayonnaise, key lime juice, cilantro and mint. After, add the cooled rum and mix well. Season to taste with salt & pepper. Enjoy with your favorite crispy tortilla chips!

Tips:

Choose fresh, high-quality crab meat. Fresh crab meat will have a sweet, delicate flavor, while frozen crab meat can be bland and watery. If you're using frozen crab meat, be sure to thaw it completely before using.
Use a variety of cheeses. A combination of cheeses will give your dip a complex, flavorful taste. Some good options include cream cheese, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, and Gruyère cheese.
Add some spice. A little bit of spice can help to balance out the richness of the crab dip. Some good options include cayenne pepper, paprika, or Old Bay seasoning.
Serve with your favorite dippers. Crab dip is delicious served with crackers, bread, or vegetables. Some popular options include Ritz crackers, baguette slices, and celery sticks.

Conclusion:

Blue crab dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that's perfect for any occasion. With its creamy, cheesy flavor and succulent crab meat, this dip is sure to be a hit with your guests. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give this blue crab dip a try. You won't be disappointed!
