SPICY CRAB DIP
This style of crab dip, often referred to as Maryland crab dip because of its Chesapeake Bay origins, makes for a festive appetizer. Here, it's served hot out of the oven and is extra creamy thanks to the combination of cream cheese and a little mayonnaise. Though crabs are plentiful this time of year - and you can certainly make this with freshly steamed and picked meat if you'd like - canned lump crabmeat makes this dish simple to assemble. Just be careful to leave the clumps of meat as intact as possible when mixing. A sprinkle of cayenne pepper and a generous douse of hot sauce add heat to this flavorful dish.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 375 degrees. Grease an 8-inch cast iron skillet or 1-quart baking dish with butter.
- In a large bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, shallot, chives, garlic, lemon juice, Cajun seasoning, mustard powder, Worcestershire sauce and 1/3 cup Parmesan. Stir until well combined. Add the crabmeat and gently stir until just combined, trying to not break up the large lumps. Season with pepper to taste.
- Scrape into the prepared skillet and smooth the top. Sprinkle the ground butter crackers and remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan on top.
- Bake until golden brown and bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool for 10 minutes, then sprinkle with ground cayenne, hot sauce and chives. Serve with baguette, celery sticks, carrots, additional crackers and more hot sauce.
Tips for Making the Best Crab Dip:
- Use fresh crab meat. Fresh crab meat has a sweeter, more delicate flavor than canned crab meat. If you can't find fresh crab meat, frozen crab meat is a good substitute.
- Don't overcook the crab meat. Crab meat is very delicate and can easily be overcooked. Cook it just until it is heated through, about 2-3 minutes.
- Use a good quality cream cheese. Cream cheese is the base of crab dip, so it's important to use a good quality brand. Look for a cream cheese that is smooth and spreadable.
- Add some flavorings. Crab dip is a great way to experiment with different flavors. Try adding some chopped green onions, red peppers, or Old Bay seasoning.
- Serve with your favorite dippers. Crab dip is delicious served with crackers, bread, or vegetables. You can also use it as a filling for sandwiches or wraps.
Conclusion:
Crab dip is a delicious and versatile appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make a crab dip that your friends and family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give crab dip a try. You won't be disappointed!
