Crab and Shrimp Au Gratin Dip image

I love this served as a dip with toasted bread rounds or as my mother's generation would say "toast points". Or, serve for lunch, brunch, or dinner with a simple green salad and hot French bread. Cheesy, warm and a bit spicy! Serve with a sparkling wine for a really good time.

This dip was a total disaster! It was watery, bland, and just plain gross.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dip turned out runny. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This dip was way too salty for me. I had to add a lot of milk to tone it down.

This dip was a little too rich for my taste, but it was still good.
