Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1/2 cup lump crab meat, drained and picked over for shells
  • 1/2 cup lobster meat, chopped
  • 1 can (14 oz) artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Tortilla chips or sliced baguette, for serving
  • Fresh parsley if desired

Instructions

  1. Prep Ingredients (10 minutes): Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Ensure your crab and lobster are free from any shells and chop your artichokes.
  2. Mix Dip Base (7 minutes): In a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, cream cheese, 3/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese, mozzarella, garlic, lemon juice, and chives. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add Seafood and Artichokes (3 minutes): Gently fold in the crab meat, lobster meat, and chopped artichokes into the cream mixture. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Bake (25-30 minutes): Transfer the mixture to an oven-safe dish. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese on top. Bake in the preheated oven until the dip is bubbling and the top is golden brown.
  5. Serve (2 minutes): Remove from oven and let sit for a few minutes. Garnish with additional chives or parsley and serve warm with tortilla chips or sliced baguette.

Notes

To add some heat to your dip, consider incorporating a dash of cayenne or some diced jalapeños. For a smokier flavor, a sprinkle of smoked paprika works wonders. This dip pairs beautifully with a chilled white wine or sparkling beverage.
