Recipe Introduction
The number one appetizer on Joe's menu is called Blue Crab Dip but you don't need blue crab to clone it. You don't even need to use fresh crab. I used some delicious lump crabmeat that's sold in 1-pound cans at Costco and the dip came out amazing. You could also use crabmeat that comes in 6-ounce cans found at practically every supermarket -- you'll need two of them. Just be sure to get the kind that includes leg meat, and don't forget to drain off the liquid before you toss it in.
List of Ingredients
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cups cooked crabmeat
1/4 cup diced green onion
1 tablespoon minced mild red chili pepper
1 tablespoon mild green chili pepper (anaheim)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
2 tablespoons shredded parmesan cheese
Garnish
paprika
1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
1. Preheat oven to broil.
2. Combine cream cheese with crab, green onion, chili peppers, salt and white pepper in a medium bowl. Stir well to combine.
3. Spread mixture into the bottom of an oven-safe dish. Use a wide dish for this so that the dip is only about an inch deep in the bottom.
4. Sprinkle parmesan cheese over the surface of the dip.
5. Broil for 3 to 4 minutes or until cheese on top begins to brown.
6. Sprinkle paprika over the dip, followed by fresh minced parsley. Serve with tortilla chips or crackers for dipping. (http://www.topsecretrecipes.com)
Makes approx. 2 cups (serves 4 to 6 as an appetizer).
