Creamy Crab Spinach Dip
A savory baked dip using imitation crab, smooth cream cheese, and a splash of sour cream swapped in for heavy cream. Garlic and horseradish bring a punch. Added spinach for texture and color. Salt and pepper balance the rich, tangy mixture. Baked till bubbly and golden edges form. Serve hot with crackers, chips, or sliced veggies. A dependable appetizer for casual gatherings or snack moments. Watch the texture—the dip should wobble slightly, not dry out. Adjust horseradish for heat preference. A twist on standard crab dip with fresh spinach and tangy sour cream instead of heavy cream.
Hot Crab Butter
Cook snow crab legs and claws in a rich butter broth spiked with white wine and lime juice. Aromatics soften and flavors meld as the butter melts gently, coating every crevice of crab. Serve steaming with herb butter or smoky aioli for dipping. Practical for large groups. Recognize doneness by warm shell and a fragrant broth bubbling softly, not rolling boil which toughens crab meat. Substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth or tiger prawns for crab for a quick twist. Use ghee or clarified butter to avoid burning; watch heat levels closely. Timing flexible but rely on touch and aroma cues throughout.
