Kittencal's Baked Crab Dip
"I know this dip is awesome using crab, I have made it many times in the past, I just tested it using 1 pound cooked shrimp that I coarsely chopped in the processor I have to say it was great but not as good as the crab, make this as spicy as you like by adjusting the hot sauce I use lots! If you use canned crab make sure that you take the extra step and remove any hard shells that were left. Plan ahead the dip must be chilled for at least 6 or more hours before baking to blend the flavors"
