This crab dip is very similar to a certain crab shack restaurant’s crab dip. It’s one of our favorites, and goes great with tortilla chips! You CAN use imitation crab meat if you want, but you will lose the flavor and texture of real lump crab meat. It is a big cost savings though.
You Will Need:
2 blocks cream cheese, softened
3 Tbls heavy whipping cream
4 Tbls grated parmesan cheese
2 Tbls white wine
1/2 diced red bell pepper
1/2 diced roma tomato
4 stalks, diced, green onions
1 Tbls Old Bay seasoning
1/2 tsp ground mustard
1 tsp hot sauce (to taste)
12 ounces lump crabmeat, drained
1 tablespoon fresh grated parmesan cheese (to garnish)
Gently mix all ingredients in a bowl. You don’t want to break up the lumps of crab meat if you can help it. Place mixture into a microwave and oven safe dish. I use my small casserole pan.
Microwave for 4 minutes until heated through. I know it sounds weird, but you don’t actually need to cook it! Once heated through, sprinkle the remaining parmesan on top and place in the broiler until the top is bubbly!
Serve with tortilla chips, or bagel chips. So yummy!

Mmmm, this sounds delicious. I’ve never had crab dip.
[…] to order if at seafood restaurants, but I don’t exactly go to often! Michelle from over at The Neighborhood Moms, made this fabulous Hot Crab Dip that I cannot wait to try myself at home! Hubby, however, hates […]
oooh, I bet it’s good just from reading the first two ingredients. We have local crab shack that i love getting their dip and it sounds similar.
Easy enough! I am not a crab fan, but I bet this would be great at parties and get togethers!
That looks so yummy!
What a great dish to bring to a potluck.
I have to admit I have NEVER tried crab meat.
There are too many members of my family allergic to shell fish so the chance has never presented itself.
This sounds really good. It would be a great side dish to take to a family cookout.
yumm this sounds delicious! I love saving money when I can but in this case I think fresh crab is a must. 🙂
I completely agree!
Mmmmm, this sounds and looks so delicious. Would agree and use fresh crab, none of that fake stuff.
I have never had crab dip. I like crab rangoons though!
This looks so good. I am a huge fan of crab, so I will definitely be trying this.
Of course IM the ONLY southerner that doesnt eat crab but that cheese looks tasty! LOL!
