Love this dip! I had to adjust a little based on availability of ingredients. I just used 2 jalapeños, chop up tiny, to replace the pickled peppers, and montery jack cheese instead of the jalapeño jack. It was delicious!

I love this Crab Dip and so does anyone who has tried it!!!! I've been making this for years and people always want the recipe so I was going to post here but thought I'd check if it was here already! So easy and can be modified for less heat by cutting back on the pickled Jalapeno peppers if needed. That is the only change I ever make, depending on the audience. LOVE IT!!! I serve with plain stone ground crackers and sometimes tortilla chips.
