Hot and creamy crab dip
What do you need:
- 1/2 kilogram of giant crab, shelled
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 cup pepper jack cheese shredded
- 1 cup shredded spicy cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup onion, minced
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Using a hand mixer, beat cream cheese, mayo, and sour cream in a bowl. Add garlic, cheeses, onion, lemon juice, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the bowl and stir until all ingredients are well combined. Fold in the crab. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and cook in a preheated oven (325F) until bubbly and golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes. Serve with fresh vegetable slices, crackers, or chips.
The Best Garlic Butter Crab Legs
What do you need:
- 1/2 pound king crab legs, cut in half to expose meat
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley
- 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice
- Lemon slices
In a bowl, combine the garlic, melted butter, parsley, and lemon juice. Place the crab legs on a baking sheet and drizzle with the butter mixture. Reserve some of the mixture for dipping. Bake the crab legs in a preheated oven (375F) until heated through, about 5 minutes. Serve with salsa and lemon wedges; it is best to squeeze the lemon juice over the crab before consuming.
