Making hot crab dip at home

To make this keto crab dip at home, you will need a few key ingredients…

Can I use imitation crab?

While it may be tempting to use imitation crab meat for this recipe, I highly recommend sticking with real lump crab meat.

Imitation crab often contains starchy fillers and additives that can add unwanted carbs to your dish. It’s also not gluten-free. Plus, the taste and texture just won’t be the same!

Tips for making the best crab dip with cream cheese

• For even more flavor, top the dip with some shredded cheese before baking.
• Add some crushed red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Simply reheat in the oven or microwave before serving again.
