JOE'S CRAB SHACK BLUE CRAB DIP

1 (8-oz) pkg. cream cheese, softened
2 cups cooked crabmeat
1/4 cup. diced green onion
1 tbsp minced. mild red chili pepper,

1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. white pepper

Preheat oven to broil.

Combine cream cheese with crab, green onion, chili peppers, salt and white pepper in a medium bowl. Stir well to combine.

Spread mixture into the bottom of an oven-safe dish. Use a wide dish for this so that the dip is only about an inch deep in the bottom. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the surface of the dip.

Broil for 3 to 4 minutes or until cheese on top begins to brown.

Sprinkle paprika over the dip, followed by fresh minced parsley. Serve with tortilla chips or crackers for dipping.

Makes approx. 2 cups (serves 4 to 6 as an appetizer)
