SPICY CRAB DIP



Spicy Crab Dip image

This style of crab dip, often referred to as Maryland crab dip because of its Chesapeake Bay origins, makes for a festive appetizer. Here, it's served hot out of the oven and is extra creamy thanks to the combination of cream cheese and a little mayonnaise. Though crabs are plentiful this time of year - and you can certainly make this with freshly steamed and picked meat if you'd like - canned lump crabmeat makes this dish simple to assemble. Just be careful to leave the clumps of meat as intact as possible when mixing. A sprinkle of cayenne pepper and a generous douse of hot sauce add heat to this flavorful dish.

Tips:

  • Use fresh crab meat. Fresh crab meat has a sweeter, more delicate flavor than canned crab meat. If you're using canned crab meat, be sure to drain it well and flake it before using.
  • Don't overcook the crab meat. Crab meat is very delicate and can easily become tough if it's overcooked. Cook it just until it's heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Use a good quality cream cheese. A good quality cream cheese will make your dip smooth and creamy. Avoid using a low-fat cream cheese, as it will make your dip grainy.
  • Add some flavor enhancers. To add some extra flavor to your dip, try adding some chopped green onions, red pepper flakes, or Old Bay seasoning.
  • Serve with your favorite dippers. Crab dip is a great appetizer or snack. Serve it with crackers, chips, or vegetables.

Conclusion:

Crab dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It's perfect for parties or potlucks. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a dip that everyone will love. So next time you're looking for a crowd-pleasing dish, give crab dip a try.
