Crab /Shrimp Dip or Mold image

This is a recipe that my sister, Garnet has made for years. It is really good and tasty and can be easily changed from a spoonable dip to a molded salad. Cooking time is chilling time. I decided to add a note here to encourage others to try this wonderful recipe. I recently hosted a wedding shower for my future DIL. I added 2 envelopes of Knox gelatin dissolved in about 1/4 cup of water so that the consistency would be good on Crescent Rolls for sandwiches. It was the hit of the party. Everyone loved it.

This dip was okay. I used fresh crab and shrimp, and it was flavorful. However, the cheese and mayonnaise made it too rich for my taste.

This dip was not good. I used fresh crab and shrimp, but it was not flavorful. The cheese and mayonnaise made it too rich and bland. I will not be making this dip again.

This dip was a hit at my party! I used a combination of crab and shrimp, and it was so flavorful. I also added some diced red onion and green bell pepper for a little extra crunch. Will definitely be making this again!
