AWESOME CHEESY HOT CRAB DIP



Awesome Cheesy Hot Crab Dip image

I got this recipe from a Southern Living Magazine a couple of years ago. It was an instant favorite, and I get so many requests for the recipe that I figured I would make it easy on myself and just post it. I usually use more Old Bay, Tabasco, and scallions than it says, cause I like a little extra kick. It really is AWESOME, especially with crusty french bread.

BAKED CRAB DIP WITH OLD BAY AND RITZ CRACKERS



Baked Crab Dip With Old Bay and Ritz Crackers image

This crab dip is inspired by a recipe called "ritzy dip" from the "Three Rivers Cookbook," a Pittsburgh community cookbook published in 1973, in which canned crab is mixed with cream cheese, topped with Ritz crackers and baked. Fresh lump crab meat is the star in this updated version, with lemon juice, scallions and plenty of Old Bay seasoning to spice things up. This recipe doubles easily for larger groups, and the whole thing can be assembled and refrigerated up to a day in advance before being baked.

Categories     dips and spreads, seafood, appetizer

Time 35m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Unsalted butter, for greasing the baking dish
8 ounces fresh lump or jumbo lump crab meat
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup grated Parmesan
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon zest plus 2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 scallion, trimmed and minced, plus more for serving
3/4 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning, plus more for serving
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup crushed Ritz crackers (from about 7 crackers), plus more whole crackers for serving
Sliced English cucumbers and other crackers, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees and grease a shallow, 2-cup capacity baking dish or ovenproof skillet with butter.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crab meat, cream cheese, 1/4 cup Parmesan, mayonnaise, lemon zest and juice, scallion, Old Bay and salt; mix with a fork until thoroughly combined. Scrape the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth into an even layer.
  • In a small bowl, combine the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan and the crushed Ritz crackers; sprinkle the mixture evenly over the dip.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes, or until bubbling and golden brown on top. Dust lightly with Old Bay, sprinkle with a few minced scallions, and serve hot with sliced cucumbers and crackers.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: Fresh crab and flavorful cheese will make all the difference in this dip.
  • Don't overcook the crab: Crab meat is delicate and can easily become tough if overcooked. Cook it just until it is opaque and flaky.
  • Use a good quality Old Bay seasoning: Old Bay is a key ingredient in this dip, so make sure you use a good quality brand.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings: This dip is a great base recipe, but you can adjust the seasonings to your own taste. Add more Old Bay for a spicier dip, or more cayenne pepper for a hotter dip.
  • Serve the dip with your favorite dippers: This dip is great with crackers, chips, or vegetable crudités.

Conclusion:

Old Bay hot crab dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy, cheesy texture and spicy Old Bay flavor, this dip is sure to be a hit with your friends and family.
