(If you REALLY like Old Bay, you might even stir some in first.) If you're not an Old Bay fan, you can sprinkle on some paprika, if you want. Just for "pretty."

1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Tips:

  • Don't overcook the crab dip. Crab dip is best when it is cooked just until it is heated through. Overcooking the crab dip will make it tough and rubbery.
  • Serve the crab dip with your favorite dippers. Crab dip is delicious served with crackers, bread, vegetables, or chips.
  • Garnish the crab dip with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of Old Bay seasoning. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.
