Crab Dip Layered Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot until it reaches 350 degrees F.
• In batches, carefully lower the wrappers into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove to a paper towel to drain, sprinkle with salt and set aside.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Put the cream cheese, milk, sriracha, brown sugar and soy sauce in medium bowl. With a hand mixer, beat together until smooth, about 1 minute. Fold in the shredded crab meat, cheese and scallion whites. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
• Transfer to a small baking dish and bake until bubbly, 20 to 25 minutes. Sprinkle with more cheese, some paprika and the scallion greens. Serve with the fried wonton chips. (If not serving right away, cover the dip with foil to keep warm.)

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, blend cream cheese, sour cream and mayonnaise.
• In the bottom of an approximately 12 inch round serving dish, spread the cream cheese mixture. Pour cocktail sauce evenly over the mixture. Layer with green bell pepper, green onions and tomato. Top with crabmeat and shrimp. Sprinkle with mozzarella.
• Cover and chill in the refrigerator at least 2 hours before serving.

Steps:

• Mix softened cream cheese and miracle whip together until smooth.
• Spread into a deep serving dish (at least 2 inches deep).
• Mix the drained crabmeat and the cocktail sauce together and then spread over cream cheese layer.
• Sprinkle chopped green pepper, green onion and tomato over crab layer.

Steps:

• Beat together the cream cheese and milk in a large bowl with an electric mixer until smooth, about 2 minutes.
• Combine the crabmeat, water chestnuts, mustard, onion, Worcestershire, soy sauce, lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl and toss gently to combine.
• Spread out the cream cheese mixture in an even layer in a 9- by 13-inch baking dish. Spread the sweet-and-sour sauce on top, leaving about a 1-inch border of cream cheese all around. Spoon the crab mixture on top of the sweet-and-sour sauce. The dip can be prepared up to this point and refrigerated, covered, overnight.
• Just before serving, scatter the lettuce, scallions and cilantro over the crab, leaving a 1-inch border all around. Serve with wonton skins, shrimp chips or rice crackers.
