Creamy Hot Crab Dip on the Stovetop
Add more or less crab to your liking. Personally, the more and the bigger of chunks of lump crab the better for us.
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) oil
- 1 cup (160 g) diced onion (about 1 small onion)
- 8 ounces (227 g) lump crab meat , drained (or more crab to preference)
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons (10 ml) fresh lemon juice , or to taste
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper , or to taste
- 8 ounces (227 g) cream cheese (softened)(1 package)
- 1 cup (100 g) freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) mayonnaise
Instructions
- Heat skillet on medium heat. Add oil and onion. Slowly cook onion until soft, slightly brown and fragrant. Continue to caramelize the onions if you like, but don't let them burn.
- Turn heat to low, add the crab, and gently stir the crab into the onions. Cook for about 1 minute.
- Add Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, garlic powder, black pepper, cream cheese, parmesan cheese, and mayonnaise. Gently stir until all the cheese is melted and bubbly. Cook for about 5 minutes or until all ingredients are melted and combined well.
- Taste for seasoning and add extra lemon juice or other seasonings if desired. Make sure you have a plentiful amount of black pepper. Serve the dip hot with crackers, chips or crusty bread.
