- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 0.25 tsp hot sauce
- 1 cup cooked lump crab meat
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and mayonnaise. Use a hand mixer or a sturdy spatula to blend them together until smooth and creamy.
Add the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, hot sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to distribute the seasonings evenly.
Gently fold in the lump crab meat to avoid breaking it apart too much. Ensure the crab is well distributed throughout the mixture.
Sprinkle in the chopped fresh parsley and fold it in to incorporate.
Transfer the crab spread to a serving bowl. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Serve the crab spread chilled with crackers, baguette slices, or fresh vegetables like celery and carrot sticks.
