This yummy Hot Spinach and Artichoke Dip with Lump Crab is an absolute must for your next party! If you enjoy spinach artichoke dip, you will love this low carb version with lump crab meat.
Hubby and I had a couple friends over about a year ago for a delicious seafood feast. I served King Crab legs, corn, hard boiled eggs, seafood sauce and this yummy Hot Spinach and Artichoke Dip with Lump Crab.
I was deep into keto so I wanted to keep in line with my 20 net carbs yet still be able to have us all enjoy a nice dinner.
Well let me tell you, our friends were not disappointed one bit. In fact, Toy has been asking me to show her how to make this dip since that January 2020 dinner.
She invited me over last week and we had a blast preparing it together in her kitchen. The best part about this Hot Spinach and Artichoke Dip with Lump Crab is that it’s guilt free because it’s low carb and keto too!!
HOW TO MAKE HOT SPINACH AND ARTICHOKE DIP WITH LUMP CRAB
Most spinach and artichoke dips use flour to thicken it hence why it’s typically not low carb. I use almond flour and cream cheese to thicken it a bit and it is dyn”o”mite!!!
She loves it so much y’all that I had to leave the entire skillet there for her and her family. She brought it back empty the very same day!!! Lol!!
The key to keeping this Hot Spinach and Artichoke Dip with Lump Crab guilt free is serving it with chips that I fried up using CutDaCarb wraps. Y’ALL!!!! If you haven’t tried CutDaCarb wraps, what are you even doing with your life?!?!?!
They are just that life changing good for those that are still on the low carb bandwagon. A MUST!!! Get with the program!!! Lol!!!
Speaking of life changing, know that the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is the ULTIMATE LIFE CHANGER. “For God so [greatly] loved and dearly prized the world, that He[even] gave His [One and] only begotten Son, so that whoever believes and trusts in Him [as Savior] shall not perish, but have eternal life. John 3:16 (AMP). Receive Him and know that your life will never EVER EVER be the same because you’ll get to spend an eternity with Him. Say Grace and enjoy!
