Description
A creamy, cheesy, low-carb dip that delivers all the savory flavors of crab rangoon without the wrappers—perfect for parties, game day, or a quick keto-friendly appetizer.
Ingredients
2 cups crab meat (lump, claw, or well-drained canned)
1 tbsp finely sliced green onions
8 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tsp mayonnaise
2 tsp coconut aminos
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/4 tsp stevia
1/4 cup diced pimentos, drained
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp black pepper
Salt, to taste
1 cup shredded mozzarella, divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×4-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, mix crab meat, green onions, cream cheese, mayonnaise, coconut aminos, lemon juice, stevia, pimentos, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt.
- Stir in 1/2 cup mozzarella until evenly combined.
- Spread mixture into prepared dish, sprinkle with remaining mozzarella, and bake 20 minutes until hot, bubbly, and golden at the edges.
- Let stand 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm with keto-friendly dippers.
Notes
Use lump crab for best texture, but canned works if well-drained.
For extra cheesiness, fold Parmesan into the mix.
Add chili-garlic sauce or red pepper flakes for heat.
Assemble ahead and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking.
Serve with cucumber slices, celery, pork rinds, or almond-flour crackers to keep it keto.
