    Hot Cajun Crab Dip

    What’s not to love about a hot, gooey, cheesy crab dip?!  This recipe is so simple to prepare – Just throw everything (except crab meat) into a bowl, stir to combine, fold in the crab meat, transfer to a baking dish and bake.  Easy peasy!  A love face emoji - A smiling yellow face with heart eyes.

    This recipe is not overly hot or spicy by any means… it has just enough of a kick to satisfy my taste buds without being overwhelming.  If you’re hard-core about loving hot and spicy foods, simply increase the amounts of cajun seasoning, horseradish and/or hot sauce to your liking.

    I can’t think of ANY party where hot crab dip wasn’t a welcomed appetizer.  Serve it with toasted pita points, celery, carrots or crackers.

    How many servings is this crab dip?

    This recipe yields approximately 4 cups of dip.  It totally depends on your guest’s appetites, because I’ve seen people eat a cup of this dip at one sitting!  Wow emoji - A yellow face with an open mouth with a look of surprise.

      Wish I could rate this recipe ten! It is just wonderfully delicious. Loved the chunks of lump crab meat and the extra zip of the Cajun seasoning!
