I would not recommend this recipe. It was too complicated and the dip did not turn out well.

I found this dip to be a little bland. I added some extra spices and it was much better.

I was a little hesitant to try this dip because I'm not a big fan of seafood, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was creamy and flavorful, and I loved the combination of crab and oyster.

This crab and oyster dip is so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can make it ahead of time and just pop it in the oven when I'm ready to serve.
