Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz low-fat cream cheese
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup cooked shrimp, chopped
- 1 cup lump crab meat
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 stalks green onions, chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp hot sauce (optional)
- 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 package whole grain crackers or vegetable sticks (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the low-fat cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Use a hand mixer or spatula to blend until smooth and creamy.
Add the chopped cooked shrimp, lump crab meat, grated parmesan cheese, lemon juice, minced garlic, green onions, fresh parsley, smoked paprika, hot sauce (if using), and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly with a spoon or spatula until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Transfer the mixture to a medium-sized, oven-safe baking dish. Spread it out evenly.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the dip is heated through and the top is slightly golden and bubbly.
Remove the dip from the oven and allow it to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional chopped parsley or paprika if desired, and serve warm with whole grain crackers or vegetable sticks.
