Hey everybody welcome back to my channel, today I'm going to share with you a recipe
I've been making since I was probably ten years old. I'm going to be showing you guys how to make crab dip and this isn't just any crab dip
today I'm going to be showing you guys how to crack a fresh crab, really a whole crab
just take the meat out of the shell and prepare it from really start to finish and I've really
actually never done this before with this recipe. Usually I just use canned crab meat just because it's so much cheaper and way less labor intensive
So today is going to be a very special recipe for me as well. Also, I wanted to share this recipe with you guys because football season is coming in
and everybody wants to kick off their awesome chip and dip recipes
And this is definitely fitting with the season as well. Summer, it's beautiful, really light and fresh crab
So with that said, let's get in the kitchen and make this amazing crab dip. So since I'm using whole fresh Dungeness crab in this recipe
The first thing I need to tackle is really extracting the meat out of the legs in this recipe
So first I'm just going to discard the head, although some people do enjoy the inside or the head meat of the crab
But for this recipe, it's unnecessary. So like I said, I'm just going to start tackling the crab meat in the legs
So all you need to extract the leg meat from the leg is really just a decent pair of pliers
or a nutcracker. And other than the occasional chunk of meat getting caught inside the shell, you can use
a crab claw just to dig it out. I can keep you safe and warm in the end
Once you've successfully extracted all your meat from your crab, really this is on to the easy part, which is the base of this recipe
In this is sour cream, fresh squeezed lemon, some Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco, and a little bit of salt
Once you add your crab meat, just give this a thorough mix just to make sure that all that
beautiful crab meat is dispersed evenly throughout the mixture so every bite is equally delicious
and your crab dip is ready to be plated into your serving dish now
So to be honest, this crab dip is absolutely beautiful without any garnish
But everybody eats with their eyes. So I'm just going to top this off with a little bit of fresh chopped scallions
some fresh grated lemon zest and some cracked black pepper and i'm going to pair this with some
plain old potato chips that are just crispy and delicious and that it'll give you something to dip
this beautiful crab dip with You know what my favorite part about football season is
What? Dips. Dips. Woo! Yes, dips are good, and especially this one
Especially because it's right now, like summertime, Mm that what up Let go Mm I love your crab dip
That is good stuff. Usually I don't put like when I make this
like whenever I make it usually I don't put the onions on there, but it looks really pretty with the garnish
Nice little lemon zest, pop of color, you know, just good for guests. Otherwise, it just looks like white dip, which is not a bad thing
right? right? right? mm-hmm that is so good oh yeah he made this when we first met this is one of the many things he
made when we first met I did I was like man I won her heart you won my stomach and my heart
I wish there was a little bit more crab but fresh crab can be fairly expensive so if you want to
If you really enjoy your crab, I definitely recommend getting canned crab meat. You can really indulge that way
This is amazing. Well, if you guys enjoyed this recipe, please subscribe, thumbs up, and comment below for
