Let’s start cooking.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup lump crab meat
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 1 cup onion (finely diced)
- 1 tbsp. butter
- ½ cup sour cream
- 8 oz. cream cheese
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp. hot sauce
- ½ lemon
- 2 tbsp. parsley (freshly chopped)
- 1 tsp. Igotchu Cajun Seasoning
- 1 tsp. Igotchu Seafood Seasoning
- 1 tsp. Igotchu Lemon Garlic Pepper Seasoning
- 1 jalapeno pepper (optional)
How to make Crab Dip
- Preheat oven at 450 degrees. Shred 1 cup mozzarella cheese and 1 cup cheddar cheese. You can also buy store-bought shredded cheese, but the pull and the flavor that you get from cheese that you shred yourself is amazing. Dice about 1 cup of onion, set aside. If you want to have some heat, you can also dice 1 jalapeno pepper.
- Melt 1 tablespoon of butter on a heated skillet. Add the onion and jalapeno and sauté them. Set aside.
- Now, prepare the base. Put 8 ounces of cream cheese on a large bowl. Then, add in ½ cup of sour cream, ¼ cup of mayonnaise, and ½ cup of heavy cream. Blend them with a mixer on light speed to get it all whipped and get a little air on the mixture.
- Add in 1 teaspoon of Igotchu Cajun seasoning, 1 teaspoon Igotchu Seafood seasoning, and 1 teaspoon Lemon Garlic Pepper Seasoning on the sour cream mixture. Blend them all in.
- We’re not done yet. Put 2 tablespoons of hot sauce for a little kick. Then, squeeze in ½ of lemon and sprinkle about 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley to add more flavor.
- Now, you can add 1 cup of lump crab meat to the mixture. Break the crab meat up into small pieces – mix well.
- Add ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese and ½ cup cheddar cheese on the mixture. Then, put your sauteed onion and jalapeno. Coat them nicely.
- Get a skillet and use a cooking spray to prevent the cheese from sticking on it. Spread the whole mixture on the pan and put the remaining cheese on top. Sprinkle in a bit of chopped parsley and put it on the preheated oven.
