Notes
For a spicy Cajun crab dip, add up to one teaspoon of hot sauce and/or 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Taste, and add additional hot sauce or cayenne pepper if needed.
I typically spread the lump crab out on a paper towel lined plate and quickly pick through it to remove any pieces of shell that remain.
