### How to Make Joe’s Crab Shack Crab Dip

**Step 1: Mix the Base**
In a mixing bowl, blend softened cream cheese with mayonnaise or sour cream until smooth.

**Step 2: Add Flavor and Cheese**
Stir in shredded cheese, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, garlic powder, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and pepper.

**Step 3: Fold in the Crab**
Gently fold in the crab meat, taking care to keep those lumps intact for the best texture.

**Step 4: Bake or Chill**
For a warm dip, transfer the mixture to a baking dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes until bubbly and golden on top. Alternatively, chill for a few hours and serve cold with crackers or veggies.
