Joe's Crab Shack Crab Dip

I have been blessed with attorneys as parents. I have also been blessed with parents who love to serve. These two things mixed together equal our family sometimes receiving seemingly random gifts for free legal work my parents have done. One that might be my favorite that they have ever received is the 10 pounds of King Crab legs they were just given. This is fresh out of Alaska, flash frozen, King Crab and holy cow is it delicious. I had a recipe on Pinterest for some crab dip and when I realized we had fresh delicious crab, I went right to work!

Joe's Crab Shack Crab Dip

6 oz Cream Cheese
1 Cup Sour Cream
4 TBSP Mayo
4 TBSP Butter
1/2 tsp Paprika
1/2 tsp Salt
3/4 cup Mozzarella Cheese
Chopped Onion (to taste)
6 oz crab meat

Mix together cream cheese, sour cream, mayo and butter until smooth
Stir in salt and paprika
Then add the crab, onion and Mozzarella 
Place in baking dish and bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes
Serve hot!

On a scale of 1-10 I rate this recipe 7. The base is good and can be used for any other kind of creamy dip. Replace paprika with garlic, crab with artichoke, and you will have a yummy artichoke dip! This recipe is worth making and eating at least one time! It would definitely be a crowd pleaser at any party. Don't use smoked paprika. 


(These legs are as long as our stove top!)
