This Keto Seafood Dip is a great crowd-pleasing appetizer! It’s packed full of crab, shrimp, green chiles, and bubbly cheese. For us keto folks, this is great served up with low-carb crackers such as flackers, low-carb tortilla chips, or fresh cut vegetables.

Save on Frozen or Canned Crab

One of the tricks I use to cut down on the cost of anything that uses crab is to source it from Trader Joe’s. The frozen lump crab meat is high quality and the cost is a fraction of lump crab meat found at your typical grocery store. Don’t have a Trader Joe’s near you? Some grocery stores sell canned crab meat (look for just crab, water, and salt – no junky preservatives), so be sure to check the isle where the canned tuna and such is sold before heading to the seafood department.

A dip is really only a good as its ability to be dipped. So here’s a few dipping vessel suggestions:

  • Veggies (Celery Sticks, Cucumber Slices, Bell Pepper Strips, etc..)
  • Store-bought low carb crackers (Flackers are our go-to)
  • Easy Keto Cracker Recipe

I’ve talked before about how I would hardly touch seafood up until a few years ago, now it’s definitely my favorite. It’s crazy how our tastes change over the years. What’s the one thing you hated but now enjoy? Leave yours in the comments below!

Dips and party foods can be a bit of minefield for those of us in the low-carb high-fat mindset. Here are a few of our favorites recipes for having friends and family over:

  • 7 Layer Taco Dip (Low-Carb / Keto / Bean Free)
  • Keto Reuben Dip
  • Bacon “Brown Sugar” Chicken Bites

      We usually use Flackers – they can be found at most speciality stores like Whole Foods, Earth Fare, or other natural grocers.

These Cauliflower Walnut Taco Cups were originally These Cauliflower Walnut Taco Cups were originally featured in our cookbook and now that Cast Iron Keto is focused on plant-based + low-carb recipes, we thought it deserved a permanent place on the website.⁠
⁠
If you have our cookbook, have you tried this recipe out of the Meatless Monday chapter? If not, we hope you do, even if you’re more omnivore than plant-based. Why? Because they are simply delicious!⁠
⁠
The combination of the crumbled walnuts, tender cauliflower, and smoky chipotle peppers in adobo sauce create a filling that, while it resembles ground beef, is much more layered in flavors.⁠
⁠
The toppings are completely up to you, these are just our go-to’s. Some type of creamy sauce would be delicious too. Maybe a bit of dairy-free (or regular) sour cream mixed with a bit of extra chipotle in adobo? Yes, that sounds just perfect. You can grab the recipe link in our bio!⁠
