Picked up from / where there are a lot of good copycat recipes. I make this for parties a lot and it always is a hit. Ingredients:
8 ounces cream cheese, softened |
6 ounces lump crabmeat, drained |
3 green onions, root ends trimmed, dark green ends trimmed, minced |
3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream or 3 tablespoons evaporated milk |
3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese, divided |
1 1/2 tablespoons red bell peppers or 1 1/2 tablespoons green bell peppers, diced |
2 teaspoons dry white wine |
2 teaspoons shrimp soup base (see notes, below) or 2 teaspoons chicken soup base (see notes, below) |
2 teaspoons diced tomatoes or 2 teaspoons drained salsa |
1/2 teaspoon crab boil seasoning (old bay) |
Directions:
1. Fold together all ingredients, except 1 Tbls. Parmesan.
2. Spread evenly into an oven-proof baking dish.
3. Microwave on 50% power for 4 minutes.
4. Sprinkle top with Parmesan.
5. Transfer dish to the oven and broil until top is slightly browned.
6. Notes: Serve with tri-colored corn tortilla chips. Shrimp base is a thick, paste-like bouillon that can be found in the supermarket next to the bouillon and granules. If you can't find it, use chicken soup base OR 2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules.
