Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Lump crab meat
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 0.5 cup Coconut milk
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp Lime juice
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 2 stalks Green onions (thinly sliced)
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp Butter (melted)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, coconut milk, mayonnaise, lime juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in the lump crab meat, shredded coconut, green onions, salt, and black pepper. Be careful not to break up the crab meat too much.
Transfer the mixture into a shallow oven-safe dish or a small cast iron skillet, spreading it out evenly.
In a separate small bowl, combine breadcrumbs and melted butter. Mix until the breadcrumbs are evenly coated.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the crab dip.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the dip is bubbling at the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with crackers, toasted baguette slices, or vegetable sticks for dipping.
