Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325˚F (160˚C).

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:
- Use fresh crab meat for the best flavor. If using frozen crab meat, thaw it completely before using.
- Be sure to finely chop the crab meat so that it distributes evenly throughout the dip.
- Use a high-quality butter for the best flavor. Unsalted butter is preferred so that you can control the amount of salt in the dip.
- Add some lemon juice to the dip to brighten the flavor.
- Garnish the dip with fresh herbs, such as chives, parsley, or dill.
- Serve the dip with crackers, bread, or vegetables for dipping.
