Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 8 oz lump crab meat
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 tsp hot sauce
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp green onions, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 bunch crackers or fresh vegetables (for serving)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, soften the cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for 15–20 minutes or microwaving for 10–15 seconds.
Using a hand mixer or a silicone spatula, mix the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Add the mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix until well combined.
Gently fold in the lump crab meat, being careful not to break it up too much to maintain chunks of crab in the spread.
Stir in the green onions and parsley until evenly distributed.
Transfer the spread to a serving bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled with crackers or fresh vegetables like celery sticks, carrot sticks, and cucumber slices.
