Skinny Crab Dip

Not so Crabby

Shellfish, such as crab, is a good source of vitamin B-12. Our bodies need B-12 to help break down foods to give us energy.

Good as Fresh

Soaking the crabmeat in ice water for 10 minutes, then draining it and patting it dry can help remove any "canned" taste.

Simple and Tasty

This had a great flavor and was a hit when we had a few friends over the other night. Was a little chunky with crab though and needed a little more "dip" consistency to it.
