Sherried Crab Dip

On the East coast, crab dip reigns supreme, but the addition of our Santa Maria seasoning adds a bit of West coast flair to this creamy, hot dip. Sherry wine adds a luxurious touch that highlights the sweetness of the crab without overpowering it. Simple yet elegant, this is definitely the little black dress of dips!
