Spicy Crab Dip recipes, December 11, 2022December 11, 2022 I really like to maximize an expensive ingredient like crab and dip a smart and tasty way to do just that. Buy really great quality crab meat so it is front and center in the dish. Ingredients1 tablespoon unsalted butter4 scallions (green and white parts), thinly sliced2 large cloves garlic, mincedkosher salt8 ounces cream cheese at room temperature1/2 cup mayonnaise1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce2 teaspoons Tabasco1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper10 ounces cooked fresh crab meat, picked free of any shells1 large lemon, cut into wedges1 sleeve butter crackers (35 to 40 crackers) Preparation1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. 2. In a small sauté pan set over medium heat, melt the butter and then add the scallions and garlic along with a pinch of salt. Add a splash of water and cook, stirring occasionally, until the scallions and garlic become tender without becoming overly brown, 3-5 minutes. When the water is cooked out and the scallions are translucent, remove the pan from the heat and set it aside to cool. 3. In a large bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, mayonnaise, Worcestershire, Tabasco, cayenne and a pinch of salt until smooth. Put the crabmeat in a medium bowl and season it with a pinch of salt and a little lemon juice; then gently stir the crabmeat into the dip. Spoon the dip into a 1-quart (4-cup) baking dish. 4. Place the baking dish in the oven and bake until the dip is warmed through, 20-25 minutes. Squeeze the remaining lemon wedges over the top and serve warm, with the crackers alongside. Uncategorized
