Either way, you’re in for a treat.
1. Crabmeat Enchiladas
Eating crabmeat enchiladas might seem a little strange, but in reality, this dish is gorgeous and delicious.
Crabmeat doesn’t really have the same texture as ground beef.
It has a much more crisp and jagged bite that we all know and love.
However, you still get all those delicious flavors when you make this recipe with crab meat.
The sauce is made of cream of chicken soup, garlic powder, oregano, chopped onion, bell peppers, cilantro, salt and pepper (to taste), and butter.
It’s rich and herbaceous but not overwhelmingly so.
It’s just right for this scrumptious treat!
2. Crab Rangoon (Crab & Cream Cheese Filled Wontons)
Crab rangoon is just what you need on a hot summer day.
Crunchy, juicy crab and chewy wontons are filled with creamy crab and cheese.

They’re best served with steamed rice to enjoy them as light snacks or meal options during a busy weeknight lunch time.

If you prefer your mac and cheese a little bit sweeter, try adding some brown sugar or honey to the mix.
It’s also worth reading through this list of suggested cheeses.
For example, sharp cheddar pairs well with sweet potatoes and salty bacon.
6. Crab Bisque
This crab bisque will warm your belly and your heart.
It’s creamy, rich, and full of succulent crabmeat.
The secret to this creamy bisque? Coconut milk.
It adds a delicate sweetness that balances the richness of the sauce.

7. Maryland Style Crab Imperial
This Maryland-style crab imperial is just what you need for a party that’s going to get messy.
It’s a simple dish of crab meat, butter, and Worcestershire sauce.
But the secret ingredient comes in the form of Old Bay.
That ingredient adds a salty, umami flavor to the mix that makes this dish so delicious.
The jumbo lump crabmeat gives it plenty of texture and make it extra-loaded with protein.
Add some hot sauce and parsley to your bowl, then serve it up with cornichons and french fries.
Delish!
