"This was real good with a few changes. With looking at the ingredients I knew would need more seasoning. I forgot the lemon juice and doubled the seafood seasoning. I also added seafood seasoning instead of the paprika on top. We all enjoyed this."
"Very tasty! I added more Old Bay seasoning for more flavor."
"Very tasty! I added more Old Bay seasoning for even more flavor."
"Made this for New Years Eve party. Great taste and creamy texture. I used 2 cans of crab and a cup of chopped shrimp... lots of yummmms!"
"Delicious!"
"Thank you thank you thank you... Little pot of gold!"
"Since we have already gone way over budget this holiday season, I will substitute 1 1/4 lbs of chopped fresh shrimp. Our shrimp guy is on the corner every Thursday with 24 to 36 hour fresh from his boat in the Gulf at $5.00 per lbs. I think I am safe that this will also turn out great."
"I can't go back "home" to Michigan without a casserole of anything crab since my transplant to Maryland! During my last trip I actually found Maryland lump crab meat for $32.00 a pound but decided to bite the bullet and get it so I could please a family member. This recipe is very good but there are many. Pick up a Maryland Recipe Book and you'll be happy forever if you like good seafood!"
"Awesome recipe I The ratio of crabmeat to the other ingredients is what makes this such a strong, "crabby" flavored dip and if you can get your hands on some Blue Crab meat, you'll have an even more awesome dip! Once you eat Blue Crab, you'll be hooked on it's buttery, crabby flavor. And on hot summer evenings nothing beats a basketful of steamed Blue Crabs with your favorite ice cold beer to wash it all down ! I use to live in Maryland and sure do miss those Blue Crabs and those wonderful fish called Croakers, which you can buy right off the boats as they come into harbor. Awe, now I'm homesick. Lol!"
