Ingredients
- 8 ounces crabmeat
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
- 1 Tablespoon Louisiana hot sauce
- 1 Tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon chives chopped
- crackers for dipping
Instructions
- Add all ingredients, except the crabmeat, to a medium-sized mixing bowl. Use a hand mixer to blend the ingredients until you achieve a smooth consistency. Taste and adjust the seasoning as necessary.
- Add crabmeat to the mixing bowl. Gently fold in the crabmeat, being cautious not to overmix and break apart the crab chunks.
- Cover the dip and refrigerate for at least one hour before serving. Serve this cold crab dip, garnished with a sprinkle of chives, alongside butter crackers for dipping.
Notes
- Allow the cream cheese to reach room temperature and soften by taking it out of the refrigerator at least one hour before preparing this recipe.
- We use canned crabmeat to make this recipe.
- You can use shredded imitation crab meat to make this dip more budget-friendly.
- Note that Tabasco hot sauce is spicier than Louisiana hot sauce. If using Tabasco, start with 1-2 teaspoons and taste. Adjust accordingly based on your spice preference.
