Skinny Crab Dip
Recipe Tip
Not so Crabby
Shellfish, such as crab, is a good source of vitamin B-12. Our bodies need B-12 to help break down foods to give us energy.
Good as Fresh
Soaking the crabmeat in ice water for 10 minutes, then draining it and patting it dry can help remove any "canned" taste.
