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.

Steps:
- Make the crab mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the crabmeat, mayonnaise, shallot, chives, serrano, McCormick® Paprika, salt, and lemon zest. Fold gently to combine.
- Make the beignets: In a 9-inch Dutch oven fitted with a deep-fry thermometer, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until the temperature reaches 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Gradually add the beer and whisk until incorporated.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
- Add the dry ingredients to the beer mixture and fold with a rubber spatula until just combined. Add the crab mixture to the batter and gently fold to combine.
- Working in batches of about 4 at a time, carefully drop heaping tablespoons of the beignet batter into the hot oil and fry, turning occasionally, until crisp and deep golden brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with the remaining beignets, letting the oil return to temperature between batches.
- Serve the beignets hot with a squeeze of lemon juice.
- Enjoy!

SPICY CRAB DELIGHTS
These are wonderful! These are perfect for the coming holidays! We made them with fresh ingredients (if possible) and low-fat ingredients. Found this on Food and Family, Holiday 2007 edition. I had these for the "Cooking Club" and this way the resident's could prepare and then eat their "sandwichito" pitas. Of course, they had help - there were two teachers and myself. These we prepared for the other residents as well. Diet Exchange: 1/2 Starch, 1 Meat (VL), 1/2 Fat
