Spicy Seafood Spread

Print Recipe

I just love a quick and easy appetizer.  This is one of the easiest appetizers you can throw together, but your guests will be so astonished by the taste.  I like to serve it with different types of crackers and even toasted breads.  Maybe some fruit on the side like grapes or strawberries.  Believe me, the tastes do meld so well together.

Ingredients:

• 4 ounces crabmeat, drained and cleaned for shells
• 2 ounces shrimp cooked and chopped small
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 green onion, finely minced
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 2 tsp. Tabasco (or other hot sauce), or to taste
• Minced chives, to garnish

1. First, combine all of the ingredients except the crab and shrimp in a medium bowl and mix thoroughly. 

2. Gently fold in the crab and shrimp. Chill  for at least 1 hour and serve.
