Joe’s Crab Shack-Style Crab Dip Recipe – Page 2

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth.
Mix in mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic, lemon juice, paprika, black pepper, cheddar, and Parmesan until well combined.
Gently fold in crab meat, being careful not to break up the lumps.
Transfer to an oven-safe baking dish (like a small casserole dish or ramekin).
Bake 20–25 minutes, until golden and bubbly.
Garnish with green onions and serve warm with bread, crackers, or chips.

Smoky Twist: Add a pinch of smoked paprika or swap in some smoked Gouda.
Extra Heat: Stir in diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce.
Make Ahead: Assemble the dip ahead and refrigerate, then bake just before serving.

Enjoy this irresistible, cheesy crab dip—it’s always a hit! 🦀🧀
