5 SECRETS TO GETTING DINNER ON THE TABLE...FAST!

My guests devoured this delicious crab dip and left me thinking I wish I had doubled the recipe. It really is that good.

I sprinkled some fresh parsley over the top for a pop of color and I love the hint of freshness that it adds to the dish. I served the dip with toasted baguette slices and crackers but you can’t go wrong with chips here either.

Because entertaining is hard enough, I used our favorite popcorn shrimp to top the dip and provide that extra layer of crunch that you’ll find so extremely satisfying. This was my shrimp-loving boys favorite part of the dip.

The crab dip can be made up to 1 day in advance and refrigerated until needed. Just add about 5 minutes to the initial bake time.

Enjoy!
