Ingredients
1 pkg Philadelphia 1/3 reduced fat cream cheese (8oz)1 can (5oz) crab meat 4 tbsp grated parmesan cheese1/2 cup skim milk1 clove garlic1/2 (the green part) of a scallion, finely chopped1 tsp lemon zest1 tsp freshly ground black pepper1/2 tsp Old Bay Seasoning1 small pinch of crushed red pepper for heat (sub cayenne pepper if desired)
Directions
Combine cream cheese and milk, stir until creamy. Blend garlic and scallion in a food processor or finely chop. Combine all ingredients, chill in refrigerator. Eat with raw veggies for a low carb, high fiber snack. Makes 8 servings of about 1/4 cup.


If you want to try this dip hot, I suggest subsituting 3-4 oz of part skim mozzarella for the parmesan cheese. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for about 30 min or until bubbly and slightly golden.



For crab rangoon: fill wontons with 1.5 tbsp each. Pinch, and deep fry in vegetable oil until golden. Makes about 30.

    Come on! You can't give bad reviews because someone forgot an ingredient. Clearly it's been fixed. - 3/16/13

    To the previous commentor, the crab is listed second (2nd) in the ingredients list. This looks good and I love the suggestions for modifying the recipe. I'm going to try this. Thanks for sharing. - 8/9/10
