I've been going through my pantry, preparing for the holiday and came across a can of shrimp. I had a package of imitation crab as well...so, I decided to make something of the two, and a spread came to mind, as I had plenty of bread crumbs too. This delicious cracker spread was born. Might I add, very well received. It was gone in no time. Double for a party...delicious! Enjoy!

How To Make ~ double your pleasure seafood spread ~ cassies

Step 1

Mix bread crumbs with melted butter.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 350 degree F. Grease or spray a small casserole dish. Set aside. In a medium sized bowl, mix crab, shrimp, cream, 2/3 cup bread crumbs, 1/2 Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, old bay seasoning, green onion, until well combined and spreadable consistency. If needs more cream, add it.

Bake for 25 - 30 minutes or until golden and heated through. Serve with lemon slices and crackers if you prefer. Note: If you don't like combining the shrimp & crab, can use your favorite, just use 8 ounces. We loved the flavor of the combined. Enjoy!
