Cook Immitation Crab & Lobster

Serve creamy imitation crab and lobster dip as a party appetizer.


Imitation crab and lobster is typically made of Alaska pollock fish, and occasionally a small amount of real snow crab. The imitation seafood products are available in chunk, flake, and leg styles for recipe convenience. You can save money by replacing real crab and lobster with their imitation counterparts in a wide variety of recipes. Imitation crab and lobster are fully cooked, but you can incorporate them into baked dishes such as tasty appetizer dips.








Instructions


1. Place 6 ounces of flaked imitation crab and 6 ounces of flaked imitation lobster into a large mixing bowl.


2. Add two 8-ounce packages of softened cream cheese, 1 tbsp. of mayonnaise, 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, 1/2 cup of canned drained artichoke hearts, 1 tsp. of Worcestershire sauce, and salt and ground black pepper to taste. Mix the ingredients well.


3. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Transfer the dip into a 1-quart baking dish and spread it into an even layer.


4. Bake the dip uncovered for 10 to 15 minutes, or until it is bubbly and slightly brown on top.
