I've never eaten at Joe's Crab Shack, so I can't say if this recipe replicates their crab dip. But I CAN say that this was very tasty!! I love a warm crab dip, and this one was just what I was hungry for. I even had all the ingredients on hand except the green peppers, for which I substituted a much smaller amount of diced jalapeno, which added a slightly hot flavor which I enjoyed. I did have to use imitation crab, as this was all I had. My husband commented that this tasted pretty good cold, too... but I ate mine bubbly warm!

I threw this together for an impromptu get-together. Everyone really enjoyed it, and the bowl emptied in minutes. While preparing this, I realized that I didn't have a green pepper on hand. I omitted it from the recipe, but added a dash (or two) of cayenne pepper to the mix. I also used green onion (and a little more than the 4 tsps) instead of regular diced onion. I was distracted and left it in the oven a bit longer, but it didn't affect the taste or texture. Great dip to be added to my regular rotation of quick appetizers and snacks.

Fantastic! Omitted the butter, saw no need for the extra fat. Used only two teaspoons of minced onions but added another two teaspoons of minced green onions. Left in my mini crockpot until ready to serve. Will definitely make again.

very yummy! I've made it twice, the second time I added one garlic clove and more seasoning salt (old bay) for an extra kick!

This recipe is good, but if you substitute diced pickled jalapeno peppers for the green peppers it tastes much better, and gives it a little more bite. Also try adding a bit of sriracha to the mix, mmmmm.

This crab dip is amazing. I have made it a few times now and I always double it. It's good as leftovers also. As previously noted, some cayenne pepper is a very nice touch.

Excellent! Went out and bought King Crab used a small leg for the dip. If you are a sea food fan this is a must.

This dip is delicious! I have fixed it twice for my husband and me and both times it was gone in very little time! The second time I used green onions and about 3 tsp. of jalapeno instead of the grn pepper and it really enhanced the flavor. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

I tripled the recipe and took it with me to an outdoor holiday BBQ. It was gobbled up in no time! This truly was the hit of the day. I cannot cook seafood without adding lemon juice. I used about a couple of teaspoons per recipe. The jalapenos instead of green peppers was a nice touch. Will make this again, and often.

Took a triple batch of this to a New Years Eve party. They gobbled it up!! I made it according to your instructions except for not having seasoning salt so I substituted Old Bay (which is plenty salty). Also - I spread it in a pie plate so it wasn't very thick but still baked it for about 25 minutes because it was a larger batch. This was extremely good and we'll be making it again! Thanks for sharing.
