For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of Old Bay seasoning or a dash of hot sauce to the crab mixture. Fresh herbs, such as chopped chives or parsley, can be sprinkled over the finished dip for a vibrant pop of color and flavor. If you don't have a bread bowl, the crab dip can be served with crackers, baguette slices, or vegetable sticks. For a smoother dip, you can use a hand mixer to combine the ingredients, but be careful not to overmix. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave before serving.
