My family are “heat” lovers. So they do want a lot of heat flavor on their dips. I can take some heat but not a lot. It seems to me that their bowl of dip could be used as a small campfire but that’s just me.  I usually buy the large quart bottle of the Red Hot sauce. He puts RedHot on anything. Mashed potatoes, yep!

So we made our crab dip with the [easyazon_link identifier=”B003N2ZUJS” locale=”US” tag=”thehypegard0d-20″]Frank’s Red Hot Sweet Chili Sauce[/easyazon_link]. It has a little more heat than others. But you can use [easyazon_link identifier=”B000H1AWSC” locale=”US” nw=”y” nf=”y” tag=”thehypegard0d-20″ cloak=”n” localize=”n” popups=”y”]Mae Ploy Sweet Chili Sauce[/easyazon_link] if you like less heat.

This recipe comes from Tonia Hardy who is the Seafood Captain at our local Kroger. She  makes it frequently for customers to sample. Believe me, she is swarmed with eager samplers because it is so good. 

I have used the imitation crab meat, but if you prefer the real thing and have great access to fresh crab meat, use that instead.

Use it as a Quick Lunch too!

And if you are needing a quick lunch idea, use the same recipe,  just spoon it over some salad greens and  Voilà!  Seafood salad.  Yum!

And this Easy 5 Minute Crab Dip is so simple,  Tonia makes it right on site as everyone watches.

We served our dip on crackers ( I am partial to Ritz Low Sodium ) but any dip cracker will do. Experiment with it and see what you like.

All you seafood lovers out there, if you love a seafood dip, try  this for your next party,  get-together,  or carry-in and your friends will be asking for the recipe!
