    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 we 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 aisle where the canned tuna and such are 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)

    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:

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