Reviews
This was by far the best crab dip I’ve ever had. Not difficult to make and super delicious. Disregard the 1 star review and read the rest!
EXCELLENT
Went to a party last night last minute bring a dip. Your crab and spinach dip was a tremendous hit thank you Valerie for a great dip!!
Awesome dip!! Had everything cut up and ready to go. If cream cheese is room temp, everything goes fast! I also used lumpy crab from the seafood area of the supermarket. It was the hit of the party!
The absolute best recipe for crab dip! I make it all the time for my family it’s delicious and rich with the right balance of crab, spinach and cheese!
Husband & I loved… thank you
Can you substitute shrimps for crab?
This was easy and delicious. It was gone in about 15 min with several requests to share the recipe.
Loved everything about how this came out. I have friends that KNOW good seafood & seafood dishes and they approved. All of the dip was gone in two days. I also added Old Bay seasoning.
I followed the directions perfectly but it came out dryer than a popcorn flatulent. Next time I’ll add more cheese or less spinach.
