Expert Tips

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.

Soaking the crabmeat in ice water for 10 minutes, then draining it and patting it dry can help remove any "canned" taste.

I made this last night to serve with toasted baguettes. I followed the receipe *almost* to the T, but had to add some HEAT to it with 1T chopped green chilies from my garden and made it spreadable by adding a tad more cream cheese (used Philly 1/3 Less Fat). We loved the result! Soaking the crab in iced water really did work. Loved this and will make it again.

This had a great flavor and was a hit when we had a few friends over the other night. Was a little chunky with crab though and needed a little more "dip" consistency to it.
