Hot Crab Dip
NOVEMBER 27, 2017
It is Dungeness Crab season here in Northern California.
I just happen to have wonderful neighbors
who share the bounty of their Pacific Ocean catches.
I love getting a text that says, "Lea, have any need for a crab 🦀"
The answer is always yes!
There are hardly ever leftovers, but when there is,
a hot crab dip hits the spot on these chilly days and nights.
There are lots of variations that you can find online,
but here is an adaptation that is my favorite so far.
