Here’s an appetizer that’s perfect for game day or your New Year’s Eve party that will have your friends coming back for more.  Your Paleo/Crossfit friends will be stoked that you made something they can eat without their coach yelling at them and your other friends will just be pumped to have some delicious crab dip on the table.  I’ve actually already made 3 batches of this recipe!  One for the pictures you see here that I later took to work (where it was very quickly demolished), one for Christmas Eve and one for Christmas Day.

I used real lump crab meat from the refrigerated seafood section of the grocery store, but you can use imitation crab if you’re worried about food allergies at your party.  I just think the real thing tastes better!

I should also disclose to you that the serving dish you see here only held about 1/3 of the recipe…a 9″ pie dish holds the entire recipe perfectly, but you can easily split it up into more than one baking dish so that everyone has easy access for dipping.

I served the dip with garlic plantain chips to keep things Paleo (and gluten free), but you can use whatever cracker or chip suits your dietary preferences.  Enjoy!

    I made this dip for a game day gathering and it was a hit, our host requested the recipe! Had to make a few changes… Costco was out of crab so I used shrimp and I didn’t have the specific garlic seasoning so I improvised with garlic, onion powders and Old Bay seasoning.
    Note – 2 tbsp nutritional yeast is listed as an ingredient but I couldn’t find when to add it in the directions so I mixed it with almond flour for the topping plus added extra in the dip.
