Crock Pot Shrimp & Artichoke Dip or Crab & Artichoke Dip

Recipe #300371 | 1¼ hours | 10 min prep | SERVES 24 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: BlondieItaliana

This is so perfect for entertaining, or to serve on Game Day... This dip stays soft & warm the whole time, doesn't get cold & solidified like many other artichoke dips I have made. You can make either the shrimp version or the crab version, or even substitute clams if you prefer. Also, I have added a small can of drained water chestnuts on occasion. ** Also, I use my small slow cooker for this recipe & just leave it on all day... think it's a < 2 Qt. cooker ** One more note, one of my girlfriends loved this so much that she made the recipe as is & served it over linguini for Sunday Pasta.

Ingredients

  • cup crabmeat (lump crabmeat or imitation crabmeat)

  • 1 onion, chopped (1 small onion chopped & microwaved with 1 teaspoon olive oil for about 1 minute or 4 medium green onions, sliced)
  • 2 (6 ounce) jars marinated artichoke hearts, drained & chopped (I use Rienzi or Cento Brand & pulse them a few times in processor)

  • 1/2 cup monterey jack cheese, shredded
  • ounces black olive, drained (sliced black olives)
