This creamy, cheesy crab dip is a warm, comforting appetizer inspired by the beloved version from Joe’s Crab Shack. Loaded with tender lumps of crab and a rich, savory base, it comes together quickly and bakes to golden, bubbly perfection. Perfect for parties, game day spreads, or any casual get-together.
