Layered Crab On Potato Crisps Recipes

SUPER EASY LAYERED CRAB DIP

Steps:

• Mix softened cream cheese with Worcestershire Sauce & mayonnaise (or Miracle Whip) until smooth. Feel free to add more or less Worcestershire sauce for your personal taste.
• Spread the mixture on a plate, I usually use a plate the size of a dinner dish.
• Gently spread the chili sauce over the top of the cream cheese mixture. (Like spreading pizza sauce over the crust).
• Sprinkle the well drained crab meat over the top of chili sauce.
• Finally, sprinkle the parsley over the top.
• Refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Serve with crackers.

KILLER CRAB AND POTATO CAKES

Steps:

• Cook potatoes in boiling water for 6-7 minutes, until tender; drain, then scatter potatoes across a large, flat surface to cool and dry for 5 minutes; then transfer to a mixing bowl.
• Make a paste with the garlic and salt; add it to the potatoes along with the parsley, thyme, lemon zest, and red pepper flakes.
• Add crab and Old Bay seasoning to potatoes; combine the mixture gently.
• Form 4 super-size 4-5 inch killer crab cakes.
• Place the bread crumbs on a plate; coat the crab cakes on both sides with crumbs to set them.
• Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium to med-high heat; add the cakes and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until deeply golden; serve immediately.

SHRIMP CRAB AND POTATO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• 1. In a pot with a spoon full of salt, and 1/2 tsp liquid crab boil, cook the potatoes until done. Let cool enough to handle and peel then chop into 3/4" to 1" pieces.
• 2. Put potatoes, mushrooms, green onions into a deep baking pan and sprinkle with Creole seasoning. Set aside.
• 3. In a medium bowl add cream cheese, sour cream, shrimp soup, cheddar cheese and mix until well blended. Set aside.
• 4. In a large and deep skillet, or Dutch oven melt together the butter and olive oil over high heat.
• 5. A handful at a time, begin dropping in the shrimp - don't over crowd the pan. Stir and saute them only until they turn pink - *DON'T let them render out their juices.
• 6. As soon as they loose their gray color, take a strainer spoon and remove them temporarily to a bowl and set aside. Continue until all shrimp are done.
• 7. Reduce heat to medium and add the onions, celery, carrots, bell pepper and sausage (broken into small pieces). Once vegetables start to soften add garlic and saute until vegetables are soft and thoroughly wilted. When sausage is cooked, spoon out some of the rendered grease and discard.
• 8. Reduce heat to medium low and add the shrimp to the vegetables and mix well. Begin folding in the cream cheese mixture along with enough half & half to keep the mixture fairly liquid. Taste and add salt & white pepper to taste. The potatoes will absorb the liquid while baking.
• 9. Pour this mixture over the potatoes in the baking pan, and gently work it into the potato & mushrooms until blended.
• 10. Evenly layer the lump crabmeat over the potato mixture and gently press it down into the mixture, being careful not to break up the lumps.
• 11. Spread the Parmesan or Gouda over the mixture then sprinkle the crushed potato chips over the cheese.
• 12. Bake at 350* F, on middle rack, until the sides are hot and bubbly and the cheese is light brown and crusty, 45 minutes. Garnish with fresh minced parsley. Ahhhhh, C'est ci bon!
