This was absolutely FANTASTIC! I made this recipe for PAC Spring 2009. In making this I was hoping the end product would be similar to Red Lobster's Crab Artichoke dip and it was just as good if not better! The only changes I made to this recipe were: 1) I added a can of baby shrimp to mellow out the artichoke flavor, 2) I mixed in 1 cup of Montery Cheddar Jack Cheese into the stovetop mixture and 3) when it was all finish I topped it with more Montery Cheddar Jack cheese and more Parmesan cheese. Loved this recipe, thanks MomB for a keeper!! P.S. I served with tortilla chips sprinkled with Lowry's Seasoning salt and warmed in the oven for 10 minutes!

I followed this recipe to a T and it is just fabulous! Make sure you use good crabmeat though! I used packaged crabmeat and regret it. But the rest of the dip tasted awesome! Will make again (with BETTER crabmeat!) Thanks for a great recipe!
