Hot & Bubbly Chesapeake Crab Dip
Submitted by: David & Sharon Prudhomme, Owners of Prudhomme's Lost Cajun Kitchen
“This recipe is a customer appetizer favorite at our restaurant and has been on the menu for 2 years. Adding the Chesapeake Sauce into the dip enhanced more of the the crab flavor. When I initially tasted this product, I was surprised to see that crab was not listed in the ingredients. The flavor profile is perfect for folks that may want to add a crab flavor to a menu item but could have an allergy or guests with allergic reactions to crab products. What a plus!” – Sharon Prudhomme
