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.

SPICY CRAB DIP



Spicy Crab Dip image

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.

2 1/2 teaspoons lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
1 1/4 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
1/2 teaspoon mustard powder
