- .RZ "IRISH'S CRAB BUTTER" "Incredible crab or shrimp dip"
- My first encounter with this dip came at a New Year's party a
- few years ago. I was standing by the munchies table trying not
- to embarrass myself too much, when a woman came up to me and
- pointed out this dip. She explained to me that at a previous party
- she had lost control eating it and got a spoon!
- .PP
- It's incredibly rich, and requires a lot of will power not to
- eat too much.

- .PH
- .SK 1
- Allow butter and cream cheese to soften before starting.
- .SK 2
- Mix mayo, butter and cream cheese. Do not use a blender, as the
- mixture will get soupy.
- .SK 3
- Add lemon juice, garlic, worcestershire
- sauce, pepper, etc. to taste.
- .SK 4
- Mix in crab (or whatever) and
- onion. Of the choices, I feel crab is the best.
- .SK 5
- Chill at least two hours, cover with cocktail sauce. This is an
- important part of the recipe.
- .NX
- I recommend Wakefield crab meat, Shrimp or Shrimp & Crab.
- I usually use Crosse & Blackwell's cocktail sauce,
- but feel free to use any kind that you trust.
- You can make your own simple cocktail sauce by mixing
- 3 parts catsup to 1 part horseradish and adding tabasco, garlic,
- worcestershire sauce to taste.
- .PP
- Serve over Triscuits (they're nice and strong, to survive heavy
- scooping) or veggies. Irish is the friend from whom I got this
- recipe.
- .SH RATING
- .I Difficulty:
- easy.
- .I Time:
- 5 minutes preparation, 2 hours cooling.
- .I Precision:
- approximate measurement OK.
