Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 1 cup cooked crabmeat
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup pecans, finely chopped (optional for coating)
- 1 box crackers (for serving)
Instructions
Let the cream cheese soften at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to make it easier to mix.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, cooked crabmeat, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Use a spatula or hand mixer to combine the ingredients until smooth and well-distributed.
Fold in the parsley and green onions. Mix gently to incorporate these ingredients without breaking them down too much.
Shape the mixture into a log or oval shape using your hands or a piece of plastic wrap.
If desired, spread the chopped pecans on a clean surface and roll the cream cheese log in the pecans to coat the outside evenly.
Wrap the log tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the log to firm up.
When ready to serve, remove the plastic wrap and place the log on a serving plate. Garnish with additional parsley or green onions if desired.
Serve with a selection of crackers for dipping.
