I know this crab dip recipe is another non-Italian recipe but I couldn't pass this one up either. It's great for parties or for a late night snack while watching a movie. I usually eat the whole bowl if you place it in front of me. It's so good and so easy to make.
You can use fresh crab meat for this dish, though I use canned crab. It's faster and works just fine for this recipe. The secret ingredient to this recipe is the crunchy water chestnuts. Don't tell any body. Your guests will never figure out the flavor.
This dip recipe should feed around a party of ten as long as someone doesn't hover over the tray and think it's dinner.
