Notes
Fresh lump crab meat is best for this recipe since it's broken pieces of jumbo lump crab meat. You can find it at the grocery store in a container on ice, in the fresh/refrigerated seafood section. Costco has the best price I've found. Leftover crab dip will keep for up to 3 days in the fridge. Rewarm in the microwave.
