About Hot crab dip

Hot Crab Dip is a creamy, savory appetizer originating from American coastal cuisine, particularly popular in regions known for fresh seafood like Maryland. Made with lump crabmeat, cream cheese, mayonnaise, and a blend of seasonings such as Old Bay, garlic, and paprika, this dip is often finished with grated Parmesan or cheddar and baked until golden and bubbling. Served warm with crackers, bread, or vegetables, it’s a crowd-pleaser at gatherings. While crab provides lean protein and essential nutrients like vitamin B12 and omega-3 fatty acids, the richness from cream cheese and mayonnaise adds significant calories and fat to the dish. Moderation is key, as the dip’s flavor-packed decadence makes it an indulgent treat rather than an everyday staple. Adjustments like using Greek yogurt in place of mayonnaise can lighten the recipe while still capturing its signature taste.
