This spicy Buffalo Crab Dip is one of my family's favorites during Cuaresma (Lent). Made with surimi (imitation crab meat), cream cheese, Mexican crema, mayonnaise, and Salsa Valentina, this easy-to-make crab dip is creamy, delicious, and can be served a number of ways.
Nick, my 17-year old son, says that given enough crackers he could easily eat the entire bowl all by himself. And I believe him, because he's always sneaking a few bites while I let it chill in the fridge. Alf (my hubby) prefers to serve this crab dip atop crunchy tostada shells with sliced avocado and a drizzling of even more hot sauce, while the girls and I think it makes a great filling for sandwiches. No matter how you decide to serve this Buffalo Crab Dip, I'm sure you'll agree that the flavor is highly addictive.
