Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup cooked crab meat
- 1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
- 2 packets unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup cold water
- 1 cup hot water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1 cup celery, finely chopped
- 1 cup green onions, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
In a small bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over 1 cup of cold water and let it sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
Meanwhile, heat 1 cup of hot water. Stir the bloomed gelatin into the hot water until fully dissolved, then let it cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise together until smooth.
Stir in the dissolved gelatin mixture, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and salt until evenly combined.
Fold in the cooked crab meat, cooked chopped shrimp, celery, green onions, and paprika. Mix thoroughly but gently to avoid breaking up the seafood pieces.
Lightly grease a decorative mold or bundt pan with non-stick spray or a thin layer of oil.
Pour the mixture into the prepared mold, smoothing the top with a spatula to level it.
Cover the mold with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight until fully set.
To unmold, briefly immerse the mold in warm water for a few seconds to loosen the edges, then invert onto a serving platter.
Garnish with additional chopped green onions or parsley if desired. Serve chilled with crackers, toast points, or fresh veggie sticks.
