Cajun Crab Dip

This spicy dip is very good, though you may have to "turn down" the heat a bit! The recipe comes from a local periodical.

• Ready In: 35 mins
• Serves: 10

Ingredients

• 1⁄3 lb cream cheese, softened
• 1⁄2 cup sour cream
• 1  teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1⁄2 tablespoon chives, chopped
• 1  garlic clove, minced
• 1⁄2 tablespoon fresh thyme, leaves only
• 1  small shallot, minced
• 1  teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to your liking)
• 1  tablespoon  hot sauce (adjust to your liking)
• 1⁄4 cup heavy cream
•  salt, to taste
•  fresh ground pepper, to taste
• 1  lb lump crabmeat, cooked

Directions

1. In a large bowl, mix very well all ingredients except the crab meat.
2. Slowly fold in crab meat, to prevent it from shredding.
3. Transfer mixture to shallow baking dish. Heat at 350 degrees F for about 20 minutes, or until hot. (You may skip this step and serve the dip cold, if desired.).
4. Serve with crackers, toasted pita points, or crostini.
