This is so good! It reminds me of my travels in Virginia and the yummy crab dip we had there. I live in a desert state, so getting good crab is hit or miss at the stores. I have made this recipe several times now, and you can use canned crab, but it tends to disintegrate in the dip. The flavor is there, but it’s harder to find the pieces. I always add more Old Bay and sometimes a pinch of Cayenne. Thanks, Kardea!
Very good. I did omit the cream, and the consistency was perfect.
On a side note, Stephanie A. asked that people only review recipes that they follow to the letter, and not say anything if they added or omitted something. I want to hear about what other people have done to make a recipe their own. I have changed recipes, based on what people write in their reviews, and definitely enjoyed them more because of those changes. Sharing ideas should always be welcome and appreciated, not criticized.
This was so easy to make. Very delicious. I would suggest adding a little more Old Bay. I did double the recipe.
I love Kardea’s recipes!! This one is really outstanding and deserves praise. My husband and I watch her show every weekend and love 99.9% of her recipes (just don’t like Okra! ha). She is an excellent chef and a very clean and tidy person. Her kitchen is always maticulous (sp??). She is so warm and loving and very family-oriented (for young and old). I also can’t wait to make her beer cheese sauce and pretzel bites recipe from this weekend. Cheers Kardea!
Phenomenal! I am a Marylander and I KNOW a blue crab dip…I used Phillips blue crab OF course…you can buy in a store or pluck yourself but it has to be the sweet blue crab from MD… 30.00 because it’s claws only not lump which is 50.00…the BEST recipe I have had…
Can I make this in a crockpot?
This recipe was delicious! We used fresh crab from our local fresh seafood market and it was a home run! The cheese was perfectly crispy. Also I feel I should mention we used a thicker salsa than let’s say Tabasco, we used one called Valentina and it was perfect.
