Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Lump crabmeat (drained and picked over for shells)
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Hot sauce (e.g., Tabasco, adjust to taste)
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Chives (finely chopped, plus extra for garnish)
- Salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise. Use a whisk or a hand mixer to blend until smooth and creamy.
Add the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and Old Bay seasoning to the bowl. Mix until all the ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
Gently fold in the lump crabmeat, being careful not to break it apart too much. You want to maintain some chunks of crab for texture.
Stir in the chopped chives, and taste the mixture. Add salt and black pepper as needed to season the spread to your liking.
Transfer the crabmeat spread to a serving bowl, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Garnish with additional chopped chives and a sprinkle of Old Bay seasoning for a pop of color and flavor.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled with crackers, sliced baguette, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
