CHILI CRAB DIP WITH SHRIMP CHIPS



Chili Crab Dip With Shrimp Chips image

Inspired by chili crab, an aromatic and spicy Singaporean seafood braise, this crab dip gets sweetness from tomato paste and flavor from shallots and ginger.

Provided by Joe Sevier

Time 30m

Yield Makes about 2½ cups

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 medium shallots, quartered
1 lemongrass stalk, bottom third only, tough outer layers removed, cut into a few pieces
1 3-4" piece ginger, peeled, coarsely chopped
1 serrano chile, preferably starting to turn orange, halved, seeds removed if desired
4 medium garlic cloves
2 Tbsp. double-concentrated tomato paste
1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt, plus more
1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
4 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
2 Tbsp. mayonnaise
8 oz. claw crabmeat, picked over
3 medium scallions, finely chopped
½ large bunch cilantro, tough stems discarded, leaves and tender stems finely chopped
2 Tbsp. store-bought fried shallots or garlic (optional)
Shrimp chips (such as Dandy's or Shrimp Snacks) or Ritz crackers (for serving)

Steps:

  • Pulse or blend shallots, lemongrass, ginger, chile, garlic, tomato paste, sugar, 1 tsp. Diamond Crystal or ½ tsp. Morton kosher salt, and ½ cup water in a food processor or blender until a coarse purée forms.
  • Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Scrape purée into pan and cook, stirring often, until mixture darkens and thickens to the consistency of tomato paste, 12-15 minutes. If it begins to stick and brown, stir in a little water (about 1 Tbsp.), scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. (You should have about ⅔ cup.)
  • Transfer mixture to a small bowl and vigorously mix in cream cheese and mayonnaise. Stir in crabmeat, half of the scallions, and half of the cilantro. Taste dip and season with more salt if needed.
  • Transfer dip to a serving bowl. Top with remaining scallions and cilantro, then with fried shallots (if using). Serve with shrimp chips.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality crab and shrimp. Fresh, wild-caught seafood will give your dip the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the seafood. Crab and shrimp should be cooked just until they are opaque and pink. Overcooked seafood will be tough and rubbery.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. A combination of cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese will give your dip a rich and flavorful base.
  • Add some spice. A little bit of cayenne pepper or Old Bay seasoning will give your dip a nice kick.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs. Chopped chives, parsley, or dill will add a pop of color and flavor to your dip.
  • Serve with your favorite crackers, chips, or vegetables. Crab and shrimp dip is a versatile appetizer that can be enjoyed with a variety of accompaniments.

Conclusion:

Crab and shrimp dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dip that is sure to impress your guests. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give crab and shrimp dip a try.
