Description

Original recipe of Georgene Campbell

Scale

Ingredients

Thaw and squeeze 2 packages – 6 oz of Alaskan King Crab and set aside

12 oz cream cheese

2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 tbsp lemon juice

2 tbsp butter

1/2 c finely chopped onion

4 dashes garlic salt

Instructions

Whip together and spread on a decorative dish. Spread 1 bottle of cocktail sauce on top of the cream cheese mix. Place chunks of crabmeat on top of cocktail sauce. Serve with wheat thins to scoop. 

Notes

Meara’s super-fast (like “Oh shit, company’s coming” fast) variation: 

Toss a brick of cream cheese on a plate and surround with crackers. Flake imitation crab meat and toss on top. Buy a jar of Allied Homemade Chili Sauce and pour that on top. Ready!

Yummy fresh cold appetizer to bring to potlucks, superbowl, etc. 

 

Scale

Ingredients

Crescent roll pack

12 oz cream cheese

ALOT of fresh dill

2 tsp garlic salt

1/2 c mayo

Finely diced/chopped veggies: Broccoli, carrots, peppers, olives, green onion, etc.

Instructions

Prep a cookie sheet with foil or parchment paper and roll out the crescent dough to form a flat sheet. Spread it thin. Bake lightly – do not brown, for about 5-10 minutes. 

Mix the cream cheese, salt, mayo and dill. 

Spread over the lightly toasted bread and smash the veggies on top (the tinier you chop the veggies the better). Refrigerate 1/2 hour before serving. 

Notes

Juju brought this to the house one day and we went crazy for it! So she shared her idea. She forgot where she got it from. Especially good with the broccoli.

Notes

I had shrimp eggrolls a few times at Steamers Restaurant in the Biltmore. I would go there, alone, just to pay $15 for one order of them. Then the place closed and I was doomed. This took me years to come close to the taste I remember!
