Crabby Dip Recipe
Imitation crab legs, or surimi, is made from mild white fish, colored and flavored so it tastes like crab.
SERVES ► 8–10
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ cup chopped onion
- 1 green bell pepper, chopped
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup seafood cocktail sauce, divided
- 2 tablespoons mustard
- 1 (8-ounce) package frozen surimi, thawed
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 350°F. In small saucepan, combine olive oil, onion, and green pepper over medium heat. Cook and stir until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in medium bowl combine cream cheese with mayonnaise. Beat until smooth, then stir in ¼ cup cocktail sauce, the mustard, and all but 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese.
Cut the surimi into bite-sized pieces and fold into cream cheese mixture along with onions and green pepper; mix well. Place in 8″ glass baking dish and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese.
Bake for 15–25 minutes or until dip bubbles around the edges and the cheese melts. Drizzle with remaining cocktail sauce and serve.
