This is one of my favorite snacks. It can be served with crackers, or I like to eat it with the big corn chips (Scoops) or serve it in jumbo pasta shells. It's easily doubled if you want to use a whole brick of cream cheese and a pound of imitation crabmeat. This is fairly chunky; if you want it to be more spreadable, increase the amount of cream cheese/mayonnaise. Cook time is chill time. Ingredients:
4 ounces cream cheese, softened |
1/4 cup mayonnaise |
1 teaspoon paprika |
1/4 teaspoon black pepper |
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper |
8 ounces imitation crabmeat or 8 ounces surimi |
1 roma tomato, chopped |
1/4 cup chopped green onion |
Directions:
1. In a small mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, mayonnaise, paprika, black pepper, garlic powder and ground red pepper with an electric mixer on medium speed till well combined.
2. Stir in the imitation crab, chopped tomato and green onions.
3. Cover and chill for 3-24 hours.
